Following damage to the overhead power lines near Hemel Hempstead – and poor weather preventing repairs taking place last night – Network Rail engineers require the line to be closed south of Milton Keynes from 2200hrs on Sunday night until 0500hrs on Monday morning.
This should allow a full commuter service to run on Monday morning, but apologies if your journey is disrupted this evening.
