Tania Taylor, a passenger stuck at Oakengates station due to the delays said: "The train was going nowhere and we were told there was an engine issue.

"There are lots of very wet people just hanging around with nowhere to go and I can imagine it is causing chaos to other services."

Rail replacement services have been organised to replace all service stops.
