Disruption continues following train derailment
Commuters have been warned of disruption for a second day after a train partially left the tracks near Milton Keynes.
London Northwestern Railway said no passengers were on board when it derailed in the Bletchley area on Thursday.
National Rail said trains between Milton Keynes Central and London Euston could be cancelled or delayed by up to 90 minutes throughout Friday.
"Rail replacement buses have been ordered to run in place of the cancelled services and will be in operation as soon as possible," a company spokesperson said.
Two trains per hour are due to operate between Northampton and London Euston via all stations.
However, problems with overhead wires in the Northampton area have led to additional cancellations.
Specific advice has been given out to passengers travelling on Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern services to avoid the issues as best as possible.

Hilton's Tapestry Collection makes Northern Ireland debut
Hilton's Tapestry Collection has made its debut in Northern Ireland with The Marcus Portrush, a hotel that breaths new life into a landmark Victorian building. Hilton says the 80-room hotel embraces the spirit of Portrush, a seaside town "known for its scenic beaches, rich heritage and old-world charm."

Hilton said a $15 million renovation preserved the original mosaic signage, decorative floor mosaics and tiled façade. Historical photographs displayed throughout the hotel show Portrush's heritage as a Victorian tourist resort, while the interior design draws inspiration from the surrounding coastline, blending a contemporary palette with nods to the natural landscape. The hotel is inspired by the fictional character Marcus, a comic-book-style adventurer. Illustrations from Marcus' journeys adorn the walls, while displays of treasures collected during his exploits bring the story to life. A guestroom at The Marcus Portrush.

The menu offers reimagined classics, like Irish sirloin steak with bone marrow butter and Asian steak sauce. The Heritage Cocktail Bar features the Orra Margarita -- inspired by the winding beauty of Orra Drive, a scenic stretch through the Antrim Glens. This margarita blends poitín (Irish moonshine) with mango. Hilton noted that the hotel has opened ahead of the 153rd British Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club from July 13-20.
