Can you tell me more about the incident?
Earlier this morning a major signalling fault occured affecting all lines between London and the Coast. This meant that no service would be able to run. Working with Netwrok Rail signalling has been restored on most lines but some lines are still affected. Services will be re-introduced when all the signalling has been restored
