Customer Advice

If you're travelling to or from Sevenoaks today, your journey will be extended by up to 15 minutes. Where necessary, some trains may be altered or cancelled.

You should continue to travel as usual; however, you may need to wait for the next available train. If you're travelling within the next hour, please leave earlier if you can.

Can you tell me more about the incident?

Network Rail has discovered a fault with their signalling equipment at St Mary Cray. Technicians are working to repair the fault; however, until rectified, train crews are instructed to pass through at a lower speed than usual.

Train crews must also contact the signalling centre on approach to the three faulty signals, and must be verbally guided through towards the next section. This process takes at least 5 minutes, per signal, per train.
