Southern services through Clapham Junction

Description

All lines have reopened following an earlier operational incident at Clapham Junction. As service begins to recover, Southern trains running through Clapham Junction may still be delayed or revised to only complete part of their journey.

Disruption is expected until 16:00.

Customer advice:

If you are travelling through the Clapham Junction area, you can use your normal route, though services may be delayed by up to 15 minutes. So please check station departure boards and online journey planners before boarding for the latest travel information.

Late-running trains may be revised at short notice, meaning they may skip some intermediate stops or terminate short of their normal destination. As a result, you may need to change trains to reach your destination.

This may mean your journey takes longer. However, it does allow trains and crew to get back to the right places for the rest of the day's timetable.

Departure boards and station announcements will be kept up to date, so please keep an eye on the latest information when you're travelling.

Planning your journey:

For help planning your journey, check live departure boards, view a live network map or see alternative route guides.
