It means there are no trains in or out of London Euston, as many people return to work after Christmas and New Year.
The problems came as a section of the same line in Staffordshire closed after a plane crashed between the tracks. Network Rail said "extensive damage" meant services at Euston were unlikely to resume until mid-morning on Monday. "
Not that I didn't have a fantastic time in London, but I'm glad I left when I did. If I'd chosen to stay an extra day I'd have been completely screwed. I'm knackered enough as it is, fucking around with a 5 hour long train journey would have been terrible.
