Disruption between Tonbridge and London Charing Cross expected until the end of the day

Urgent repairs to the railway between Tonbridge and London Charing Cross means some lines are blocked. As a result, trains may be cancelled or revised. This is expected until the end of the day.

What's happened?

 

Engineering work is taking place on the Southeastern network today which means trains between Tonbridge and Charing Cross are diverted via East Croydon.

 

Because of other urgent repairs to the railway, the route our drivers would usually take into and out of London Bridge is blocked, and there are no alternative routes for them to take due to the engineering work.

 

The engineering work is taking place for the rest of the day so alterations to trains will continue until the end of service.

Trains from Hastings to Charing Cross will only run as far as East Croydon and terminate there.
