Travellers are facing day-long disruption on trains in and out of London as a number of issues affect the network.
A signalling fault between Norwood Junction and London Bridge/Blackfriars has been impacting Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express services.
National Rail earlier issued a “do not travel” alert for the affected lines.
Passengers travelling to and from London Bridge should expect a reduced service and are advised to use London Victoria as an alternative.
Meanwhile, a train derailment at a depot in Selhurst means disruption on the Overground between Highbury & Islington and West Croydon is also expected until the end of the day.
