Description

A broken down train between Stratford International and London St Pancras International means some lines are blocked. Trains running between these stations will be cancelled, revised or delayed by up to 60 minutes.

Disruption is expected until 14:00.

What's happened?

A train has broken down near London St Pancras International. As a result, we are only able to use one of two lines on the approach to London St Pancras International, reducing the capacity available.

How does this affect my journey?

We are having to run fewer highspeed trains to and from London St Pancras International because of the reduced capacity available to us.

Trains are experiencing delays of up to an hour and some services will be terminated and restart their journeys at earlier stations.

What should I do?

You may use your ticket on these operators at no extra charge:

  • Elizabeth line between Stratford (London) and central London

  • London Underground between Stratford (London) and central London

  • Thameslink services between Rainham (Kent) and London St Pancras International
