UPDATE: Trespasser Incident Causes Victoria Line Service Disruptions

⚠️ RAIL DISRUPTION

Some Southeastern services to Victoria are experiencing disruptions this morning following a trespasser incident at Elephant and Castle.

Southeastern Railway has reported that a trespasser on the line at Elephant and Castle is causing disruption to services running into Victoria. As a result, some trains to Victoria may not stop at Denmark Hill station, whilst others have been diverted to terminate at Cannon Street instead.

The incident has resulted in delays and cancellations affecting commuters travelling on the Southeastern network into central London. Passengers are advised to check live train information before travelling and to allow extra time for their journeys, as services work to restore normal operations.

In response to the disruption, Southeastern is offering passengers flexibility with their tickets. All valid Southeastern tickets can be used on London Underground services, providing an alternative route for those affected by the line closures and diversions. This allows travellers to reach their destinations using the Tube network whilst the incident is resolved.

Passengers travelling from Kent stations should anticipate potential delays on services heading towards Victoria and should consider using alternative routes or modes of transport where possible. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
