The London Overground has been hit 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 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.
ℹ️ #WatfordJunction - Lines have now reopened following a fire that occurred next to the track between Harrow & Wealdstone and Hatch End yesterday, Friday 18 October.
