'A fire on the railway tracks in south-east London has shut all lines in the area sparking major disruption.

The blaze next to the track near Brockley brought trains to a standstill between Sydenham and New Cross Gate on Tuesday morning.

Network Rail has warned the fire has damaged cables that supply electricity to the railway, causing heavy disruption to trains between London Bridge and Crystal Palace

London Overground services are only running between New Cross Gate and Highbury & Islington.

Meanwhile Southern and Thameslink services running through the area may be cancelled or diverted to and from London Victoria.

Heavy disruption is expected until midday.'

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
