No-one was injured when the 6.19am service from Milton Keynes to Euston left the track in Hunton Bridge tunnel, near Watford Junction station at about 7am.

The landslide is believed to have happened after flooding in the area.

A spokesman said London Midland and Virgin services would be “severely disrupted” from the north-west of England, Scotland, and the Midlands.

British Transport Police are at the scene along with the East of England Ambulance Service and Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service
