Another said: 'Avanti West Coast cancelling a load of trains again last minute. Absolute shambles of a company, not fit for purpose.' But there were also problems on Thameslink trains due to a signalling fault between St Albans and West Hampstead; and on Transport for Wales between Shrewsbury and Wrexham due to an emergency incident.
The Met Office said most areas of the UK will see a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers at the start of what is the last week of meteorological spring. However it will be feeling cooler today than over the weekend - which saw highs of 21.6C in London - with a brisk breeze in the South and West.
