How is this currently affecting the train service?
A freight train (involved in engineering works) came to a stand for some time in the London Bridge area. This was occupying the line which is usually used by southbound Thameslink trains in the area. It's now on the move.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
Thameslink have been working with Network Rail to remove the freight train and get passenger services running. The freight train has now been sent to an alternative location.
