London Travel Chaos: Euston Station Disrupted by Points Failure (2026)

London travel chaos: Euston station in disarray due to signal failure!

Breaking News: A points failure at Stockport has caused major disruptions for London Euston travelers.

Services from Euston to Stockport are facing delays and cancellations, with some lines blocked due to a signaling fault at the Greater Manchester station.

But here's where it gets controversial...

Trains to and from Stockport may be canceled, delayed by up to 20 minutes, or revised. And this is the part most people miss: there are also no trains running between Stockport and Manchester Piccadilly due to separate engineering works.

Operators affected include Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Northern, and TransPennine Express.
