Can you tell me more about the incident?
A train has broken down just outside of Denmark Hill station, and is blocking the southbound line towards Peckham Rye/Bromley South. A rescue train has attached to the broken down train and the two trains are now on the move, running empty back to the nearest depot.
Lines are now open and we're working to return services to normal as soon as we can.
