Passengers walked back to their nearest station after a lightning strike damaged equipment.

Train operator South Eastern said 'significant damage' was caused to signalling equipment in the strike this evening.

Passenger Aaron McNultee took this picture from the scene along with the video of passengers walking back to Longfield station, near Dartford.

It came as heavy rain caused floods in some parts of Kent.

The power was restored shortly after 8pm, although South Eastern said delays would continue until 9pm.
