A landslip between Dartford and Gravesend is blocking the train lines this morning.
Southeastern says the landslip is in the Greenhithe area.
This means trains can't run from Dartford towards Gravesend.
London-bound trains are also subject to cancellation and delay.
Tickets being accepted on fastrack buses from Dartford to Gravesend.
⚠️UPDATE: #Greenhithe

🚍🎫 Tickets being accepted on Fastrack buses: Dartford - Gravesend
Thameslink gave a list of where tickets can be used to travel on.
This includes:
- Southeastern trains between Rainham, Rochester, and London Victoria.
- Local Fastrack buses
- TfL Buses between Dartford and Central London
- DLR trains between Woolwich Arsenal or Greenwich and Central London
- London Underground on any reasonable route
Network Rail Kent and Sussex has since said it estimates around "30t of muck has slid down and is still very wet".
It said it is "planning its response, mobilising teams and machines to get cracking ASAP."
⚠️🌧️ UPDATE: This is #Greenhithe, just east of the tunnel. We estimate around 30t of muck has slid down and it is still very wet. We are planning our response, mobilising teams and machines to get cracking ASAP + working with @Se_Railway + @TLRailUK to manage train services. /1 pic.twitter.com/TYkUPS58Sl
