Travel chaos caused by the global IT outage have continued into the evening as passengers find themselves stranded at train stations and airports across the country.

More than 100 planes are grounded on what was expected to be the busiest day for UK flight departures since October 2019.

Travellers hoping to enjoy the hottest day of the year have instead found themselves trapped inside train stations and airports as the technical fault, which caused Windows software to suddenly shut down, caused travel delays enmasse. 

At Euston train station, hundreds of commuters found themselves stranded in the station’s concourse.

In a video shared on social media, anxious passengers could be seen stood up at Euston watching the train departure board as they waited for news about how they can make their onward travels.
