Trains leaving Euston were being delayed by up to 90 minutes or cancelled, on Friday

Rail passengers using one of the UK's main stations were hit by knock-on delays across Saturday morning after a "trespass incident" the day before.

On Friday evening all services into London Euston were halted as emergency services helped someone near Wembley Central station.

British Transport Police said a male had been "taken to a place of safety".

Earlier National Rail was advising passengers to avoid using services in or out of Euston until at least midday.

The disruption has now ended.
