Train services from Tring, Berkhamsted and Leighton Buzzard are severely disrupted this morning.

In the early hours of the morning, a stretch of signalling, miles long, lost power between Milton Keynes and Watford junction.

Train services on the West Coast main line will be severely disrupted all day.

Network Rail engineers have been on site, working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

UPDATE 9.21am: National Rail say trains are able to run again.

Passengers are being urged to check their journeys at nationalrail.co.uk and follow alternative travel advice from West Midlands Railway and Avanti West Coast.

Phil Barnes, operations director at Network Rail, said:

“I’m sorry passengers journeys won’t go as planned today.

"We have lost power on six miles of railway in the Leighton Buzzard area, which means that most services in and out of Euston will be cancelled.

"We’re working quick time to get this fixed and services back up and running as quickly as possible, so passengers can travel as normal. Please check National Rail Enquiries before travelling today."
