Passengers are being asked not to travel north of Preston for the second day running as work continues following the derailment of a train on the West Coast Main Line.
Investigations are continuing following the incident near Shap in Cumbria on Monday morning.
Train operators Avanti West Coast said there is likely to be disruption on the West Coast Main Line for a number of days.
The train involved was travelling from Glasgow Central to London Euston when the driver reported hitting an object, causing the front carriage to derail at around 6.10am.
No passengers were hurt in the incident, and all were evacuated from the train to a nearby hotel and then sent by road to their destinations.

Network Rail engineers are working with the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) to determine the cause of the derailment. It followed a suspected landslip that occurred in the area.
The derailment blocked the opposite line and no West Coast Main Line trains will run between Preston and Carlisle throughout today (Tuesday, November 4).
Destinations north of Preston include Lancaster, Oxenholme, Penrith, Carlisle, Lockerbie, Motherwell, Glasgow, Haymarket and Edinburgh.
A Network Rail spokesperson said teams worked through the night in wet and windy weather.
As of Tuesday morning, the train has been removed, overhead line repairs have been completed, and earth, track and signalling work is ongoing.

“We want to thank passengers for their patience while we have investigated this extremely complex incident," said Phil James, North West Route Director for Network Rail.
“Now that the RAIB staff have finished their investigation our team can begin the work of reopening the railway. We will need to move the train before we begin the repair work necessary to get services moving safely as soon as possible.
“This incident will continue to cause disruption for the rest of the day and we’re urging passengers to check with their train operator or National Rail Enquiries for the latest information."
