Train services between Milton Keynes and Northampton were severely disrupted as a result of the signalling problems, with alterations, cancellations and delays of up to 50 minutes being experienced.

More signalling problems yesterday in the Bletchley area caused even more misery for commuters trying to get to and from Northampton.
