London travel news LIVE: Flooding hits train services into Euston as Tube recovers from storm

Train services into London remain disrupted on Tuesday morning after flooding that has brought widespread disruption to the national rail network.

Flooding between Rugby and Milton Keynes central was due to disrupt Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway until 1pm, according to National Rail, with numerous services cancelled.

A number of trains into Euston are among those cancelled and delayed this morning amid the chaos.

London Northwestern Railway said its Marston Vale line, which operates services between Bedford and Bletchley, is due to be suspended until September 30 following the bad weather.

A signal failure is causing severe delays on the Elizabeth Line, but the Tube and Overground trains are otherwise largely running normally again after flooding caused numerous lines to be partially suspended on Monday.

On the roads, National Highways said it expected the A421 in Bedfordshire to remain closed on Tuesday in both directions between A6 Bedford and M1 J13 near Marston Moretaine due to severe flooding, and that it “cannot provide a timeline for the road to reopen”.
