Train disruption due to broken rail

Thameslink services through parts of Hertfordshire have been disrupted due to the issue

Train services are facing significant disruption until the end of the day due to a broken rail.

National Rail has warned services between Stevenage, in Hertfordshire, and London King's Cross will be disrupted until the end of Tuesday.

The broken rail has been identified in the Finsbury Park area of London and it meant trains have to run at a reduced speed on all lines.

As a result, trains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes, while some trains from Peterborough or Hertford North may not run at all.

Great Northern, LNER and Thameslink trains have been disrupted.

Trains which run between Moorgate in London and Stevenage will still run, according to National Rail, calling at Gordon Hill and Hertford North.

Services that run between Moorgate and Welwyn Garden City/Stevenage will not stop at Harringay or Hornsey in the direction away from London.
