All lines between Gatwick Airport and Purley were blocked this morning after a trespasser was reported on the track, forcing the cancellation of many London trains to and from Gatwick and delaying others by up to an hour.
Services Hit by Closure
Gatwick Express, Great Western Railway, Southern and Thameslink services are all affected by the incident. Passengers on those routes have been advised to expect significant disruption while the situation is resolved.
Other Disruption Across the Capital
Elsewhere in London, a fault with the signalling system between Marylebone and Wembley is causing problems, along with a points failure between London Bridge and Dartford. Both issues are adding to the travel disruption across the network this morning.
