Overrunning engineering works in the Nunhead area are causing disruption to services running between London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks.
As a result, trains are currently unable to run between these stations, and will be cancelled.
Disruption is expected until 11:00.
Customer advice:
Due to engineering works not being finished on time, Thameslink services will not run this morning between London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks.
Please be advised this also applies to most Southeastern services as they are heavily affected by the disruption.
You are strongly advised to delay travelling until later on this morning to ensure you can complete your journey. You may need to use an alternative route to reach your destination.
Please check journey planners and station information boards when travelling.
To see if your route has been affected, please view the live map here.
Your ticket will be accepted on the following at no extra cost:
- Alternative Southern and Thameslink services on any reasonable route.
- Southeastern services (where running) between London area and Bromley South / Swanley / Otford
Â
Please expect these services to be much busier than normal due to Southeastern also being affected by the same disruption.
- London Underground between London terminals
- London Buses between Central London and Sevenoaks
Please note that using any of the above alternatives is likely to take you up to 60 minutes longer than your usual route.
To help you plan your journey with London Buses or London Underground, you can find their journey planner here.
An alternative route map can be found here.
Replacement buses:
Thameslink have requested replacement buses for some of the cancelled trains, but these won't cover all journeys. If there are any available, they will be added to online journey planners and station information screens. So far all operators have no availability.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
Staff have been advised by Network Rail that due to overrunning engineering works, services will be unable to run this morning between London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks in both directions.
You will be updated as more information is received.
