Cable fire causes major disruption at London Marylebone
Services in and out of London Marylebone will be disrupted until the end of the day after a fire damaged cable responsible for signalling in the area.
Network Rail is currently working to fix the issue, but Chiltern trains are unable to run from Marylebone to Wembley Stadium and Harrow-on-the-Hill. London Midland and Virgin Trains services are also being affected.
Some trains will start and terminate at West Ruislip or Harrow-on-the-Hill instead, with London Underground being used the rest of the way.
Chiltern urged passengers to use other services if possible, saying their tickets would be accepted on Great Western Railway, London Midland, CrossCountry, Virgin Trains and London Underground services.
The disruptions are expected to continue until the end of the day and may be ongoing tomorrow if the repairs are not completed.
There were widespread delays across southern England last month due to damage caused by floods.
