BRITS are facing travel chaos this morning as King’s Cross station is hit with train cancellations with passengers having to wait for hours.
A problem with the overhead wiring between Stevenage and Hitchin has meant that southbound trains are unable to follow routes into King’s Cross station in London.
Damage to the cabling means that any trains running between London, Cambridge and Peterborough are in limbo, and may be subject to cancellations, delays, or revisions.
So far, around a dozen scheduled southbound departures have been cancelled since this morning and more are expected as key routes are modified throughout the day.
As it stands, six train companies – Grand Central, Great Northern, Hull Trains, LNER, Lumo and Thameslink – have all confirmed they have routes affected by the disruption.
Some trains have already been cancelled:
Train lines anticipating the disruption have allowed tickets to be accepted on other routes.
These aren’t the only services facing problems today, with London also struggling first thing.

Transport for London states that the Tube’s Waterloo and City Line and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) are partially closed this weekend, with the Metropolitan line experiencing delays early this morning.
The London Overground is also partially closed, with no services operating between Highbury & Islington and New Cross, Clapham Junction, Crystal Palace and West Croydon on both Saturday and Sunday.
TfL is operating rail replacement services in their places, with DLR passengers urged to use the Jubilee line to swerve closures between Poplar, Stratford International and Beckton/Woolwich Arsenal.
