A signalling failure at a train station in south east London has caused disruption of up to three hours.

All services between Petts Wood and London Victoria have been disrupted since around 6pm today (September 16).

Trains running between Sevenoaks/Orpington and London were initially unable to call at Petts Wood.

National Rail later on confirmed X (formally known as Twitter) that lines had reopened at around 6.45pm. 

However, disruption is expected until 9pm. 

While service recovers, trains running between Sevenoaks/Orpington and London may still be delayed by up to five minutes.

Commuters have been advised by National Rail to check before they travel and to find alternative routes where possible.
