Trains between London Bridge and ED stuffed.

[capt_birdseye]

From the Southern Railway site:

Due to a major fire involving gas cylinders at a premises in Blue Anchor Lane in South-East London this morning, all railway lines between New Cross, New Cross Gate and London Bridge have been closed to train services.

This is likely to cause major disruption to mainline and suburban services in and out of London Bridge, London Cannon Street, London Charing Cross and London Waterloo East.

Arrangements are being made to divert as many trains as possible into London Victoria and London Blackfriars stations, and Southern ticket holders will be allowed to use all reasonable bus, tube and Docklands Light Railway routes to help complete their journeys.

But delays and cancellations are inevitable, possibly for the next 24 hours, and so passengers are advised to check before making journeys in and out of London.

Southern tickets are being accepted on London Buses, London Underground and Docklands Light Railway.

Again?!? Didn't this just happen the night of the ED photo shoot a month ago?

Are trains from blackfriars ok?

Well, maybe not, but I'll be rather miffed! :-$

UPDATE...

London Bridge station may re-open at 19.00hrs this evening or the emergency services may choose to re-open it at 07.00hrs tomorrow morning ? Cannon Street station is also closed and most services will be running out of/going into London Victoria.

Full details of all services affected are on the National Rail website www.nationalrail.co.uk
