ALL Southeastern services throughout Lewisham may be delayed or cancelled this afternoon after a trespasser incident.

It comes after Southeastern rail tweeted shortly before 2pm today (April 9) that all power on the line was switched off due to a trespasser incident, while emergency services carried out checks.

The power was then switched back on shortly after 2.30pm.

Delays to train services are now expected until 4pm due to the length of time the line was closed for. 

Passengers are being advised by Southeastern to allow extra time for their journey if they’re travelling through Lewisham this afternoon.

Commuters can also use their tickets at no extra cost on London Underground services.

The News Shopper has contacted British Transport Police for a comment regarding the incident.
