Southeastern Woolwich line closed due to level crossing issue at Charlton

A problem with level crossing barriers in Charlton has seen the line closed.

Southeastern and Thameslink state the line is shut in both directions. Network Rail staff are en route to fix the problem.

Disruption is expected not only on the Woolwich line but also other Metro routes due to the interlinked natures of services.

Trains are also being diverted via other lines to Dartford. Tickets are being accepted on buses.

Charlton level crossing is the closest to central London still in operation.
