Due to earlier issues with communication systems at various locations on the National Rail network, train services may be delayed.
Various signalling centres have reported issues with the radio system which enables drivers to connect with the signaller.
Trains can continue to run but may have to run at a reduced speed, which will cause some extended journey times.

A visual disruption map video is available.
