All trains between North Wales and London Euston railway station are suspended after a ‘serious’ fault. Train passengers have been warned ‘do not attempt to travel as major disruption is expected until the end of the day’.

The ‘major fault’ is to the signalling system in the Stafford area, in the middle of the Avanti West Coast route from London Euston to Manchester, Liverpool, Scotland, and north Wales.

Avanti West Coast have issued an update on social media saying: “Cancellations and delays are expected until the end of the day due to a major fault with the signalling system earlier in the Stafford area.

“This has affected multiple Avanti West Coast routes, including journeys to/from Manchester, Liverpool, Scotland and North Wales. Please do not attempt to travel on these routes today due to this major disruption.

“If you have an Avanti West Coast ticket dated 21 November, you can now use it at no extra cost on 22 November, on any Avanti West Coast service via the same route.
