Thousands stranded at London Euston and Marylebone by signal failure – as two Tube lines shut by trespasser
COMMUTERS across London have had their evenings ruined by travel chaos across major lines and stations this evening.
London Euston and Marylebone are threatening hours of delays and the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines are down.
Signalling failures have caused extreme delays at London Euston and Marylebone resulting in passengers packed into sweltering and overcrowded carriages.
For those travelling by tube, the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines are suspended after a trespasser on the tracks.
Passengers have taken to twitter, begging for train bosses to turn the air conditioning on the overcrowded carriages.
The most recent tweet from London Euston read: "Power has been restored at Euston and signals are now working again. We're so sorry to passengers as significant disruption is expected while trains get back to normal."
"This is causing major disruption and trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised."
Virgin Trains are advising passengers to ditch their plans and travel tomorrow instead.
MAJOR DISRUPTION
Tim Dunn wrote on twitter: "Due to signal failure, Euston is essentially shut. Only one train out to Northampton - @LNRailway - has been cancelled - the rush was epic.
