A fault with the signalling system at Elstree & Borehamwood is causing disruption to Thameslink services between London St Pancras International and St Albans. As a result of this, trains may be delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 11:00.

Customer Advice:

Thameslink services travelling through Elstree & Borehamwood may be delayed. This issue is affecting trains from Central London towards St Albans City, and mainly affects stopping services. 

You can still use your normal route, but you may get to your destination around 10-15 minutes later than usual. 

There will also be some knock-on delays to trains which head back towards London after they terminate at St Albans City.

Some services may need to be revised to call at fewer stations en route. Please listen to all announcements and check station departure screens before you get on the train. 

Can you tell me more about the incident?

Network Rail are dealing with a faulty signal on one of the two northbound lines. Drivers must stop their trains and get verbal permission to proceed. This is taking additional time, and there are now some short queues of trains on approach to the area. 

Response staff are on site and investigations into the fault are underway.
