Damage to signalling equipment in the Streatham Common area is causing major disruption to services this morning with no Southern or Gatwick Express services able to serve London Victoria and knock-on disruption to Thameslink services. Passengers are advised not to travel.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We have had engineers working on site overnight doing all they can to fix the problem. However, we anticipate that the signalling will not be up and running this morning.

We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.

Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
