Can you tell me more about the incident?

We have been advised of a significant shortage of station staff at Beckenham Junction this evening. Southern are unable to send their services into this station, as staff are required to safely allow the trains to depart in the return direction towards London Bridge. This means Southern trains will be terminating at Birkbeck and starting back to London from there.
