London 2012 Olympics: King's Cross station travel chaos after power failure

Officials denied the problems were caused by the torrential rain.

A Network Rail spokesman said: “An electrical supply problem is causing disruption at London Kings Cross. Because of this, no trains are currently able to travel to or from the station.

“Engineers found the fault – it is a blown transformer, which brings electricity to the system.

"We have fixed the fault and trains are now starting to run again. There will be some residual delays, for which we apologise for."

She said the problems affected Eastcoast mainline and First Capital Connect services. But she said that the Javelin services, including those to Paris and Stratford, were unaffected.

A total of 23 gold medals are up for grabs with highlights including the men's singles tennis final at Wimbledon between Andy Murray and Roger Federer, the world number one.

The women's marathon, which starts and finishes, kicked off today’s athletics programme before taking in much of central London.
