Customer advice
Thameslink services are unable to run between in either direction between Wimbledon and Tooting. This is affecting the route between Sutton and St Albans.
Some trains which run via Tooting will be diverted. They will run between Sutton and St Albans via Mitcham Junction instead. After Sutton, these trains will continue to Wimbledon. They will return to Sutton from there, before heading back to St Albans. Other trains from St Albans may terminate at Herne Hill, instead of continuing through to Sutton, and they will return back to St Albans from there. Because of these changes, trains will not serve the route via Tooting or Haydons Road until this issue is resolved. There will also be a reduced service at West Sutton, Sutton Common, St Helier, Morden South, South Merton, Wimbledon Chase and Wimbledon.
