Chiltern Railways have said: “Around two metres of signalling cable in the tunnel into the station has burned away meaning the signalling system is not working. Without signals we cannot safely run trains, so are not running to or from Marylebone until new cables are installed and tested. Engineers are on site however, disruption is expected and Marylebone will be closed into Monday morning and until further notice.

“We strongly advise passengers to avoid travelling on Monday unless essential. Chiltern tickets are valid on Virgin Trains, London Midland, FGW, CrossCountry & London Underground services.”
