A failure of the electricity supply at Paddock Wood means some lines are blocked. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised. This is expected until 11:00.

What's happened?

There is an issue with the power supply to trains in the Paddock Wood area so the line towards Tonbridge / London is blocked.

The line from London / Tonbridge towards Paddock Wood remains open.

 

How does this affect my journey?

We are now able to run a limited service through Paddock Wood using the one line available.

Trains for London will depart from platform 2 (the platform normally used for trains towards Ashford only).
