Attention all commuters heading to London Euston this morning! We have some unfortunate news to share with you. Due to a power issue that occurred earlier today, there may be delays and cancellations on your journey. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Passengers were alerted of this issue early this morning as a power supply problem caused severe delays. The disruption is centered around the trains between Watford Junction and London Euston, according to National Rail. As a result, your train may be canceled, revised, or delayed by up to 20 minutes. We anticipate that this will continue until at least 8:30 am.
National Rail has provided more information on the cause of this disruption. They have stated that there was a "fault with the electric third rail and a speed restriction over a defective track" between Watford and Euston. This issue has also affected other train services, including London Overground, Avanti West Coast, and London Northwestern Railway. We understand the frustration this may cause and are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
Here are the specific train routes that have been impacted by this disruption:
-Avanti West Coast between Edinburgh / Glasgow Central / Blackpool North / Lancaster / Manchester Piccadilly / Liverpool Lime Street / Chester / Holyhead / Wolverhampton / Birmingham New Street and London Euston
-London Northwestern Railway between Crewe / Birmingham New Street / Coventry / Rugby / Northampton / Milton Keynes Central / Bletchley / Tring and London Euston
-London Overground between Watford Junction and London Euston
Attention passengers traveling to or from Manchester Piccadilly! Please be aware that your journey may be subject to cancellation this morning due to a defective track between Watford Junction and London Euston.

Avanti West Coast has also provided an update on the situation. They have stated that all services in and out of Euston will be affected, with the Manchester route experiencing more cancellations. Additionally, there will be a speed restriction over the defective track between Watford and Euston, affecting trains passing through that area.
We reached out to Transport for London for a comment on this matter. We will update you as soon as we receive a response.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time our train services to Euston have been affected. Just yesterday, there was a chemical spillage on the tracks near Crewe, causing disruptions. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working hard to get things back on track.
