Train services out of Tring, Berkhamsted and Leighton Buzzard are delayed or cancelled this morning.

Emergency services are dealing with an incident between Watford Junction and London Euston.

This means trains are unable to run along that stretch and so are severely impacted further up London Northwestern Railway's route.

Rail replacement services are being put in place for some passengers.

Disruption is expected until around 11am.

Tickets are being accepted on Chiltern Railways, East Midlands Railway and TfL services.

Update: The line has reopened and a shuttle service is now in place
