A fire alarm sounding at Highbury & Islington means that Great Northern services are currently unable to call at this station.

As a result, trains running between Essex Road and Drayton Park will be running non stop.

This is expected until 16:30.

Customer Advice:

Services are unable to stop at Highbury & Islington until further notice. You'll need to use an alternative route to complete your journey this evening.
