Signal problems at Dartford hit Woolwich & Bexleyheath lines

A problem around the Dartford area has caused disruption to trains heading  towards Kent. Both the Bexleyheath and Woolwich lines are seeing issues.

Coming at this time of day means disruption is expected into the rush hour.  Trains heading out can’t head back in for the 5pm rush. Network Rail are on scene but after 20 minutes it’s yet to be fixed.

NEW: Network Rail have advised us of a signalling problem between Slade Green and #Dartford affecting trains from London towards Kent via Woolwich and Bexleyheath. Trains may be delayed or altered at short notice. More to follow.

The current advice is to use the Sidcup line or tubes then buses.

3:40PM UPDATE: The problem is resolved so its now a case of trying to get everything in place for 5pm
