The train fault, at Harrow & Wealdstone, means that some of the lines are blocked between the stations and there will be a reduced service on the London Overground.
It was reported at 11.21am today (October 17) and was expected to cause delays for just under an hour, however disruption is now estimated to continue until 1.15pm.
