Services on two of the country's busiest railways are facing severe disruption after cracks were spotted on some high-speed trains.So solly, British Soldier.
Most Great Western Main Line trains to and from London Paddington have been cancelled.
London North Eastern Railways is asking passengers not to travel on the East Coast Main Line today.
Hitachi has apologised after hairline cracks were found in the suspension units of some of its 800 series trains.
