The London Overground has been struck with even more delays after major disruptions throughout the day.

Earlier today, trains running between Willesden Junction and Watford Junction were unable to operate due to a fire which broke out next to the track between Harrow & Wealdstone and Hatch End yesterday (October 18).

Due to that and a points failure, trains were delayed and cancelled for most of the day.

The lines had reopened before 3pm today, and services slowly began to return to normal.

However the National Rail has now warned that even more disruptions are expected between London Euston and Watford Junction.

This is due to a fault with the electric third rail between Bushey and Watford Junction, meaning all lines are blocked.

Trains are once again being cancelled or revised, with disruption expected to last until 8pm.

This affects Euston, South Hampstead, Kilburn High Road, Queen’s Park, Kensal Green, Willesden Junction, Harlesden, Stonebridge Park, Wembley Central, North Wembley, South Kenton, Kenton, Harrow & Wealdstone, Headstone Lane, Hatch End, Carpenders Park, Bushey, Watford High Street and Watford Junction.
