Finsbury Park station was temporarily closed following police advice
Rail passengers have been told to expect more disruption on Sunday at some London stations.
Network Rail said trains are now able to run to and from the city's King's Cross station, which saw many cancellations and delays yesterday.
But operators warned that trains would be "extremely busy" due to reduced services.
Overrunning engineering works caused major problems for thousands of rail passengers yesterday.
The Office of Rail Regulation has said it will launch an investigation into the situation while Network Rail admitted passengers had been let down, adding that extra resources had been brought in to complete the work.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has demanded answers from Network Rail, which runs the UK's railway network.
Robin Gisby, managing director at Network Rail, said he was "deeply sorry" for the delays.
He defended the decisions that shut down King's Cross and caused 300 metre long queues at nearby Finsbury Park, where police were called in to deal with the crowds.
"We've let a lot of people down, I'm afraid, and I can only apologise for that," he said.
He said engineers had been working "tirelessly" to complete the track replacement work, adding that "extra resources have been brought in to ensure the work is completed for the morning".
Train operators warned the engineering works will continue to disrupt some services on Sunday.
East Coast Trains said it expected to run an amended timetable in and out of King's Cross, but warned services would be "extremely busy".
Over-running engineering works and signal problems also caused delays and cancellations on Saturday for Great Western trains at Paddington station in west London.
First Great Western said disruption at Paddington would continue until 09:00 GMT on Sunday. It has already said that those with tickets dated for 27 December would be able to use them on Sunday and Monday or would be entitled to a refund if they chose not to travel.
The overrunning work between King's Cross and Finsbury Park is part of a £200m Christmas investment programme.
