Southeastern trains in Kent delayed due to leaves on the lines

There are delays on trains across Kent this evening due to leaves on the lines and signalling problems.

Southeastern have tweeted that a combination of damp weather and leaves have caused poor track conditions, which have led to disruptions to their services.

Trains from Charing Cross are thought to have been particularly badly affected.

Customers are tweeting the company complaining of delays and crowded carriages.

Carl Hyde said: "On the 16.39 from Waterloo East to Gillingham I think a few extra carriages may be needed you can't move, jammed in like rats."

Signalling problems at Shortlands, also mean trains from London towards Kent may be delayed or altered at short notice.

Trains are also running behind schedule to Ramsgate and Maidstone after a vehicle hit a bridge in Broadstairs earlier this afternoon.
