Thousands of passengers are facing major travel disruption with no train services running in or out of London King's Cross due to overrunning engineering works.
East Coast Trains has confirmed they are expecting "significant disruption to services" due to delayed Network Rail works north of the station.
Passengers have been told to consider deferring their travel plans until Sunday or Monday.
The company said customers who need to travel should start or finish their journey at Finsbury Park in north London, with at least one change of train.
A reduced service to and from the station will go ahead as planned on Sunday, with trains leaving up to 20 minutes earlier than normal.
The disruption comes as thousands of people are likely to be travelling following the Christmas break.
East Coast spokesman Paul Emberley said: "Network Rail has apologised to passengers for the inevitable delays to their travel plans on Saturday as a result of the overrunning engineering works.
"East Coast is particularly sorry too for the inconvenience to its customers as a result, on what we know is an already very busy travel day immediately following the Christmas break.
"For customers intending to start or finish their journey at King's Cross, consideration should be given to deferring travel plans to either Sunday or Monday.
"We're working hard over the holiday period to make the necessary adjustments to our timetable as a consequence, and to provide as much information as we can."
East Coast destinations include Peterborough, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Network Rail said the engineering work is part of a £200m Christmas investment programme.
The work is among 300 projects being undertaken over the holiday period at 2,000 locations across Britain.
A Network Rail spokesman said: "What has happened is really regrettable and unfortunate, but it is a small part of a massive amount of engineering investment taking place over Christmas."
