Passengers have been hit by rush-hour travel chaos after a train line to London Euston was closed.

Trains to London Euston have been canceled or delayed during peak hours today.

Major disruption is expected until midday after a safety inspection near Crewe closed the tracks.

A track inspection in Crewe has blocked all lines on the route, National Rail has warned.
