Between Moorgate and Hertford North / Stevenage
Notice details
A broken down train between Alexandra Palace and Stevenage via Hertford North means that all lines are blocked. As a result, trains running between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 17:30. Customer advice: If you are travelling between Alexandra Palace and Hertford North, please use an alternative route to complete your journey where possible. A train has developed a fault in the Gordon Hill area, blocking the Hertford Loop Line between Gordon Hill and Stevenage in both directions. As a result, trains cannot run through this section and journeys are likely to take longer than normal. Please allow at least 30 minutes extra to reach your destination and check station screens and journey planners before travelling. Changes for services: Services cannot run between Gordon Hill and Stevenage in either direction until further notice. Services that normally run between Moorgate and Stevenage will operate between Moorgate and Gordon Hill only. Peak services that run between Moorgate and Hertford North / Gordon Hill have been suspended. Services between Moorgate / London Kings Cross and Stevenage will now run between Finsbury Park and Stevenage using the East Coast Main Line, instead of the Hertford Loop. Services routed via the Main Line will depart Stevenage earlier than normal and may incur additional waiting time at Welwyn North to regulate service. Ticket Acceptance: Your ticket may be used at no extra cost on the following: Alternative Great Northern and Thameslink services between Moorgate, London Kings Cross and Stevenage Greater Anglia services between London Liverpool Street and Hertford East. This will be a bus between Broxbourne and Hertford East.

Planning your journey: For help planning your journey, check live departure boards , view a live network map or see alternative route guides . If you’re travelling within London, you can use the TfL Journey Planner . Stay up to date on the move with Great Northern's WhatsApp channel . Live updates are available Monday to Friday, 07:00–21:00. Can you tell me more about the incident? Unfortunately, a train in the Gordon Hill area has developed a fault. The nature of the issue means it can't move, so it's blocking the line through the Hertford Loop in both directions. It's likely that in this case, we'll need to send our specialist engineers to site, known as "fitters". Fitters are based in key locations around the network, 24 hours a day, and they are able to attend anywhere on routes. Once they are on site, progress updates will be monitored to ensure that the railway can be reopened as promptly as possible. Another train may also need to be sent to tow the defective one away. This procedure, known as arranging a rescue train, will be done as quickly as possible, usually by sending a similar type of train to attach. The combined train will be taken out of use and sent to a depot. Until the defective train can be moved, an alternative way to get other trains around the issue will be explored. This depends how many lines are available, and whether the signalling equipment is set up to allow trains to be routed around the problem. This is more often the case on major routes, but not always. Work will be undertaken with Network Rail's controllers to decide how many more trains can be sent through the area, and if this isn't possible, alternative solutions will be explored to help you continue your journey. Ticket flexibility: If your train is cancelled, you will be able to travel on an alternative service operated by any other participating train company , either two hours before or two hours after the original departure time of the cancelled service, in order to reach your destination. If you decide not to travel or cannot complete your journey due to cancellations, you are entitled to a full refund from your original point of sale. For further information and guidance please contact your train company or speak to a member of railway staff. Check before you travel: You can check your journey using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner . For helpful advice if you need to travel on a rail replacement service, including accessibility and bicycle information, please use our Rail Replacement Services page . You can find the pick-up and drop-off location of rail replacement services by checking station signage or by searching for your station on our Find a Station page . Please be advised that replacement vehicles may be busier than usual, and you should allow extra time for your journey. Compensation: You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.

Temporary amendments to some Southern services to / from Uckfield until at least Monday 2 November
From 16 Sept 2026, 12:11 · End time not supplied

Southern between London Bridge and Uckfield
Notice details
A speed restriction remains in place on the line between Oxted and Uckfield. As a result, between Monday and Saturday a small number of services which normally run between between London Bridge and Uckfield will be revised to run between London Bridge and Crowborough only, with a replacement bus running between Crowborough and Uckfield. The usual timetable will operate on Sunday, with no planned changes to services. This is expected until at least Monday 2 November. Customer advice: Southern are sorry that some customers travelling on the Uckfield line will continue to experience disruption. The record-breaking hot weather this summer and sustained low rainfall has affected track conditions in some areas, meaning temporary speed restrictions need to remain in place. Safety is and will always remain the highest priority. Because trains need longer to complete their journeys, running the normal timetable could lead to delays building up throughout the day and increase the risk of short-notice cancellations. To provide customers with greater certainty and help keep services running as reliably as possible, we've temporarily revised the timetable and will operate replacement buses between Crowborough and Uckfield at certain times of the day. Southern know many customers rely on these services every day for work, education, appointments and important time with family and friends, and are very sorry for the disruption these changes may cause. The revised timetable has been designed to minimise the impact on customers wherever possible, including protecting key services used by children travelling to and from school. T ravel advice: Some journeys will take longer than usual and a small number of services between Crowborough and Uckfield will be replaced by rail replacement buses. Please check before you travel for the latest journey information, including train times, replacement bus services and alternative travel options. You should also allow a little extra time for your journey where needed. Journey planners online are up to date for future travel information. Staff will also be on-site to assist you with any additional further queries you may have for your onward travel. Car park season ticket holders at Uckfield and Buxted are also eligible to park at Crowborough and Eridge with no additional cost. You can also use your ticket at no additional cost on the following services: Southeastern services between Tunbridge Wells and London Alternative Southern and Thameslink services between Haywards Heath / Three Bridges and London Monday - Friday service changes: The following services will terminate at Crowborough: 10:07 London Bridge to Uckfield 13:07 London Bridge to Uckfield 19:07 London Bridge to Uckfield 22:07 London Bridge to Uckfield The following services will start from Crowborough: 11:33 Uckfield to London Bridge 14:33 Uckfield to London Bridge 20:33 Uckfield to London Bridge Rail replacement buses will run between Crowborough and Uckfield. Check journey planners for bus timings.

Check journey planners for bus timings. No changes to Sunday: The usual timetable will operate on Sunday, with no planned changes to services. Planning your journey: For help planning your journey, check live departure boards , view a live network map or see alternative route guides . If you’re travelling within London, you can use the TfL Journey Planner . Stay up to date on the move with Southern’s WhatsApp channel . Live updates are available Monday to Friday, 07:00–21:00. Why are temporary timetable changes needed? These targeted changes are needed because temporary speed restrictions have been introduced by Network Rail on sections of the railway following a period of prolonged hot and dry weather, which has affected track conditions in some areas. Network Rail has a programme under way to protect the railway from extreme weather and climate change, supported by a £2.6 billion investment in track maintenance and renewals. Investment includes drainage, earthworks, track and overhead power improvements, as well as monitoring and predictive technologies to identify risks earlier and enable proactive intervention. The speed restrictions being introduced will ensure trains can continue operating reliably while work is carried out to address track conditions that have been affected by the recent weather. Check before you travel: You can check your journey up to and including Friday 23 October using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner . For travel on Saturday 24 October and beyond, please check back closer to the time of travel as the Journey Planner has not yet been updated to reflect the amended timetable.
