Description

A safety inspection of the track between Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction means that trains are having to run at reduced speed on some lines towards London Euston. As a result, trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 10 minutes or cancelled.

Disruption is expected until 20:15.

London Northwestern Railway customer advice:

Your ticket can be used at no extra cost on East Midlands Railway services from London St Pancras International in both directions until further notice.
