It appears the north section of TL has collapsed due to issues at West Hampstead
It's a DISASTER. How on Earth do people get home?
Last couple Nottingham to St Pancras services were cancelled, I suspect local taxis will be in demand tonight.
Tomorrow morning will be interesting with stock out of place
Commuting tomorrow will be 'fun' for those unfortunately to need to do so.

Is there an obligation, in the event of a service collapse, for a TOC to get you to your destination, or can they leave you 'stranded'?
By road transport arriving home sometime in the early hours looks like the best that they can hope for, this must be one of the worst days ever for rail disruption in the south east?

We are sending staff to trapped trains as a priority. ⚠️ Services between Bedford & Blackfriars have been suspended for the rest of the day due to a complete loss of signalling
I'd imagine so, I haven't seen two code blacks declared at the same time (Victoria - Croydon and Waterloo - Surbiton) and I think the last bad incident was the displacement of the third rail at Clapham Junction a year or so ago which resulted in the shoes being ripped off several units, and many trains being de-trained.
The last Code Black was the Vauxhall fire.
Indeed, but when was the last time two major London termini had a Code Black declared upon them on the same day?
It's a grading.
Green - Yellow - Red - Black - Blue
Green is minor delays
Yellow is moderate delays
Red is major delays
Black is effectively service suspension, job stopped
Blue is a serious incident generally involving the intervention of the emergency services with a train service following a collision or similar.
What was the last Code Blue to be declared in recent years?

St Pancras is also code black this evening
