London's King's Cross station was hit by more problems today as an investigation was launched into disruption caused by overrunning engineering work.
A number of trains out of King's Cross were cancelled and other services delayed after a signalling failure this afternoon.
The failure meant that some Great Northern services from the station were cancelled, while incoming trains ended their journeys at Finsbury Park.
A Great Northern spokeswoman said: "At approximately 13.30 this afternoon signalling problems were experienced in the Finsbury Park area, resulting in no trains being able to run in and out of London King's Cross.
"Several trains terminated at Finsbury Park and Welwyn Garden City. Rail replacement buses were organised for passengers to transport them across to the Thameslink route, where ticket acceptance was in place.
"Signalling was restored at 14.15. Customers may have been affected by residual delays of up to 60 minutes whilst the service recovered.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience that Great Northern's customers may have experienced."
Today's problems follow major disruption yesterday when King's Cross and Paddington stations were closed because engineering works ran over schedule.
Both stations have since reopened and services from Paddington were running as planned, a Network Rail spokeswoman said.
Network Rail's Robin Gisby, managing director of network operations, apologised for yesterday's disruption which led to extra police being brought in to control crowds.
"I'm deeply sorry for the delays, upset and upheaval caused... to passengers impacted by our overrunning improvement work outside King's Cross," he said.
"We've had an army of 11,000 engineers out over Christmas Day and Boxing Day at 2,000 locations nationwide.
