Trains disrupted after West Coast main line death

Train services between London Euston and Northampton have been severely disrupted tonight after a woman died in a fire on a train in Leighton Buzzard.
Emergency services were called to the train after a fire on a toilet and the woman's body was discovered.
The incident happened on the 4.45pm service from London to Euston. All trains in and out of London were cancelled following the incident as overhead power lines on the West Coast main line were switched off.
A replacement bus service was put on following the incident.
Currently London Midland is running a limited service out of the capital, while buses are running between Hemel Hempstead/Leighton Buzzard, Leighton Buzzard/Milton Keynes
and Wellingborough/Northampton.
Tickets are being accepted on First Capital Connect/East Midland trains from London St Pancras and on Chiltern Railways from London Marylebone.
