Disruption to Highspeed Southeastern services between London St Pancras International and Ashford International expected until 19:00 

Route(s) affected

Southeastern services to / from Ashford International

Description

Failure of the electricity supply means some lines between London St Pancras International and Ashford International are blocked.

Highspeed Southeastern services operating between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised as a result.

Disruption is expected until 19:00.

What's happened?

The electricity supply to the highspeed network has partially failed.

We have managed to restore power to one of the lines, and are attempting to run as many services on the working area of track as we can.

How does this affect my journey?

Some trains are managing to run and will be subject to delays, many will be unable to run so running services maybe more crowded than usual.

What should I do?

Please check before you travel and allow extra time to complete your journey.

You can use your ticket at no extra cost on all reasonable routes and on the London Underground between terminals.
