A walkout by thousands of members of the RMT union at Network Rail meant many train services stopped early, with routes having no services all day.
One traveller said:"When we were looking for a train at 9am there were no more tickets left. Every ticket was sold out and my sister couldn't get one.From London's Euston, services to Crewe, Manchester Piccadilly, Glasgow Central and Birmingham International were delayed as travellers waited anxiously with their luggage.
While waiting at Euston station to get a train to Northampton to see her father after her Avanti West Coast train was cancelled, she said she would be frustrated if she could not get there but would"figure something out". Another passenger, student Kartik Aggarwal, 24, said that he was"very irritated" as he faced missing a Christmas party in Birmingham after a last-minute train cancellation from Euston.
He said:"We have planned around it and today is not a working day for me, so it's not really having a terrible effect."
