Description
All lines have reopened at London Marylebone following a points failure at this station. Although the issue has been rectified, trains will run at a reduced speed to allow services to keep moving whilst there is severe congestion in the area.
As a result, trains operating may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 minutes, or revised. Major disruption is expected until 10:00.
A visual disruption map video is now available.
