Across the Southeastern Network

Description

A number of incidents across the Southeastern network means that some services may be delayed, cancelled or revised.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer advice:

A number of incidents are affecting services across the network currently:

  • A safety inspection of the track in the Grove Park area means one of the lines towards London is blocked. With all services towards London having to use one line, delays are occurring. Services between Charing Cross and Maidstone East are being diverted to run to / from London Victoria

  • A fault with the signalling system in the Chislehurst area means services are unable to travel from Chislehurst towards St Mary Cray. As a result, services between Cannon Street and the Kent coast via Medway will not run this evening (with the exception of the 16:41 Cannon Street - Dover, which will be diverted via Dartford)

  • A fault with the signalling system between Folkestone and Ashford means trains in both directions are being delayed by up to 10 minutes

  • A fault with the signalling system between Dunton Green and Knockholt means trains from Sevenoaks towards London are being delayed by up to 5 minutes


The following routes are affected:

  • Mainline Paddock Wood

  • Mainline Hastings

  • Mainline Maidstone East

  • Mainline Sole Street

  • Metro Grove Park

  • High Speed via Ashford


All other routes are unaffected at present.
