Thousands of people are bracing themselves for chaos on the railways during rush hour today after a signalling problem at London Victoria.

Trains in and out of the station are facing delays and cancellations, which could last all day.

Southern Rail tweeted that there was signalling problem between Victoria and Clapham Junction.

A statement on the National Rail Enquiries website said a reduction in the number of platforms available at Victoria meant fewer trains were able to operate, causing delays of up to 30 minutes and cancellations.

National Rail Enquiries said passengers could use the following operators on alternative, reasonable rotues:

  • London Overground

  • Southeastern

  • South West Trains

  • Thameslink

  • London Underground

  • London Buses
