Description

A tree blocking the railway between Kempton Park and Hampton means that all lines are blocked. As a result, trains are unable to run to / from Shepperton and will be revised.

Disruption is expected until approximately 20:30.

Customer advice:

Specialist teams are working to clear the tree from the track. It isn't yet known when the lines are expected to reopen.

As a result, London Waterloo to Shepperton services will terminate and restart at Fulwell until further notice.
