Network Rail apology for Thameslink service this morning

This morning a six-mile stretch of signalling failed at Luton meaning that no trains could run south of Bedford.

This caused very significant disruption for which we apologise.

Network Rail, who maintain the track, signalling and power supplies, has issued the following statement:

“We would like to apologise to passengers experiencing delays this morning owing to a signal failure at Luton.

“Our engineers have now fixed this issue and we are working with train operating companies to recover normal service as soon as possible.

“However, there are still residual delays between Bedford and London St Pancras, so passengers are advised to check their journeys before travelling throughout this morning."
