A points failure has caused severe disruption for passengers at Euston station.
The issue, reported at about 10:45am on Sunday, led to no trains entering or leaving the station for several hours.
Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern Railway and London Overground services on the route were all affected.
The lines reopened by early afternoon but major disruption was still expected to continue until the end of the day.
