A fault with the signalling system at Herne Hill means that trains have to run at a reduced speed. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice
Please allow extra time to complete your journey this evening. We anticipate delays of up to 10 minutes, for trains running in the Herne Hill / Loughborough Junction area.
This will impact services to/from Wimbledon, as well as the service that operates between Horsham and Peterborough.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
The rail network is designed so that if a signal stops working, trains will stop before they reach it. Whilst this issue is ongoing, train crew will stop at the affected signal and contact the signalling centre to confirm their location. At this point the signaller will verbally authorise the driver to continue towards the next signal. This process adds time to every train's journey, which means services can experience short delays.
