And there is little joy for those travelling home this evening.

Southern say: “There is a very limited service into and out of Victoria and we are advising passengers to avoid Victoria and travel on different routes into and out of London.

“Passengers can use the London Underground, London Bus, London Tramlink, South West Trains, Southeastern, and Thameslink services.

Network Rail is in the process of repairing the damaged power supply rail and services will continue to be disrupted while this is taking place.

“We expect there to be disruption to services with delays, cancellations and short notice alterations for this evening’s peak as there will be trains and train crews out of place.”

Hundreds of passengers on the Brighton Mainline were delayed for up to five hours and some were escorted off trains and supplied with bottled water as they waited for news.
