Passengers attempting to access wi-fi services at a number of rail hubs were met with a webpage titled “We love you, Europe” and carrying information about terror incidents in the UK and abroad in an apparent anti-Islamic message.

All of the 20 stations operated by Network Rail have been targeted.

These are Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street, Glasgow Central, Leeds City, Liverpool Lime Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Edinburgh Waverley, Reading and Guildford.

Network Rail also operates 11 stations in London.

These are London Bridge, Canon Street, Charing Cross, Clapham Junction, Euston, King’s Cross, Liverpool Street, Paddington, St Pancras International, Victoria and Waterloo.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We are currently dealing with a cyber security incident affecting the public wi-fi at Network Rail’s managed stations.

“This service is provided via a third party and has been suspended while an investigation is underway.”

A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said: “We are aware of a cyber-attack that affected some Network Rail Wi-Fi services, reported to us at around 5.03pm today (25 September).

“We are working with Network Rail to investigate the incident.”

The Sun Online has contacted Telent who operate the wi-fi networks for comment.
