Major disruption at Euston station as specialist police respond to incident
25 October 2019, 18:51
London Euston station is currently closed and all trains to and from the station are suspended, due to reports of a trespassing incident.
All services from London Euston station have been cancelled after British Transport Police officers were called to Wembley on Friday following a report of a concern for welfare for a male close to Wembley Central station.
The incident was reported to police at 16:25pm this afternoon.
National Rail said all lines between Euston and Watford Junction were blocked and trains will be cancelled or amended due to an "ongoing trespass incident".
Rail passengers are being warned not to travel due to major disruption on the West Coast Mainline into and out of London Euston this evening.
The station is facing travel chaos at rush hour, with both commuters struggling to get home and people having trouble getting away for the weekend.
Passengers are sharing pictures of their experiences at the station on social media.

Stay away from Euston unless your journey is vital. Meltdown. Zero trains leaving. I’m hiding in a corner in the foetal position pretending to be ok.
