It might be a bit cooler today, but train services are still feeling the effects of the recent extreme weather.
More than two dozen services leaving from London King's Cross and Euston stations were cancelled or delayed on Wednesday morning.
James Dean, Network Rail's West Coast South route director, apologised to passengers impacted by the disruption. "In the meantime, please check National Rail Enquiries before you set off on your journey as delays will continue today."Travel expert Simon Calder said that "hundreds" of passengers were facing disruption at King's Cross station on Wednesday morning.
"The reason people are still here, rather than moving to another station, is that next door at London St Pancras International, the only places you can go to are Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam or Kent, because all the northbound lines from there are closed."
