A POWER cut at Petts Wood train station has resulted in disruption to commuter trains during the evening rush hour.

A replacement bus service operated between Orpington and Petts Wood until power was restored at around 6.15pm tonight (Oct 27).

It is thought the power cut also affected businesses and houses in the vicinity of the train station.

A spokesman for Southeastern Railway said: “Train services at Petts Wood are being disrupted due to electrical supply problems.

“The lights have now been restored and trains will start calling again at Petts Wood as from 6.20pm."
