Heavy rain flooding the railway at Hildenborough means fewer trains are able to run on all lines. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

Disruption is expected until 15:00.

What's happened?

We have received reports of flooding on the railway at Hildenborough. We are unable to run as many trains as normal via this route and so trains in both directions will be diverted and fewer trains than normal will be able to run.
