Passengers travelling to and from Kings Cross may have to take alternative routes or face severe delays today.
A broken rail between the London station and Peterborough is causing major disruption along Great Northern, Thameslink and Grand Central routes.
Many trains scheduled to arrive at Kings Cross will instead terminate at Peterborough.
Services between Finsbury Park and Stevenage are either cancelled or delayed by up to 60 minutes, according to National Rail.
Trains between Brighton and Cambridge are also affected.
Urgent repairs are taking place, but disruption is expected to last until the end of the day.
Broken rail causes major Kings Cross disruption
Summer is officially over, and train passengers have been given an early dose of delays and cancellations to celebrate.
A broken track near Hatfield is disrupting services to and from London’s Kings Cross station.
This is affecting Great Northern, Thameslink and Grand Central services, with many trains stopping and starting at Peterborough instead.
It is also affecting trains between Finsbury Park and Stevenage, and between Brighton and Cambridge.
So if you’re lucky enough to get on a train that’s not delayed, you still face hour-long delays.
Urgent track repairs are ongoing, but this disruption is expected to last until the end of today.
