All lines between Hayes (Kent) and Ladywell in south east London were closed on Wednesday so emergency crews could safely work on the track. National Rail, the body that runs the rail information service, said the closure was expected to last until 13:30. Travellers are able to board London Buses and London Trams between Elmers End and Beckenham Junction without incurring any additional charges.
