'˜Avoid Euston if at all possible' London Midland commuters are warned

Rail-users are bing warned to avoid London Euston station if possible this evening, after the station had to be evacuated.

No trains are running in or out of London Euston due to a line-side fire near South Hampstead which has damaged signalling equipment.

Network Rail has engineers on site trying to restore services as soon as possible. However, as a result of the fire the power supply to Euston station was temporarily cut, leading to the evacuation of the station.
