Major disruption on all routes. Ticket acceptance is in place on London Underground, local buses and with alternative rail operators on any alternative route.

There is major disruption to all routes following a train fire at Welwyn North and a passenger incident at Essex Road. All lines are now open, however residual delays of up to one hour may be experienced.

King's Cross

There is severe disruption to all services due to an earlier train fire in the Welwyn area, and a passenger incident at Essex Road.

• 5Z35 has just departed Essex Road and is empty to Hornsey depot for cleaning. 5K21, currently at Welwyn Garden City, will be formed onto 2J43, vice Hertford North, to pick up the remainder of the diagram.
• 1Z99 is underway from Welwyn North to clear the failed class 180 unit into Welwyn Up sidings. The class 66 locomotive will then be returned to GBRf for its booked working, 0M65, and Hull Trains will attend to their class 180.

Peterborough

There is severe disruption to all services due to an earlier train fire in the Welwyn area. A road user remains at Everton level crossing, awaiting MOM attendance following an earlier road traffic accident.
