Can you tell me more about the incident?
Network Rail are dealing with a track circuit failure at Holloway South Junction, which is just south of Finsbury Park station. Track circuits are electrical devices which detect and monitor the passage of trains, as part of the signalling system.
In this case, to reduce delays, trains will use another line to get around the issue, but this will still lead to a small amount of congestion.Â
Response staff have been sent to site, and we are monitoring progress updates.
