Rail Disruption Across London and South Coast Due to Landslip and Signalling Fault

Commuters face significant delays and cancellations on multiple routes, with disruptions expected to last throughout the day.

A landslip between London Paddington and Reading has blocked two out of four lines, affecting Great Western Railway and Elizabeth Line services.
A major signalling fault overnight has disrupted Southern, Thameslink, and Gatwick Express services, with no trains running until further notice on some routes.
Passengers are advised to expect delays of up to an hour and to seek alternative routes or adjust travel plans.
Network Rail has dispatched engineers to address the landslip and signalling issues, but the full resolution is expected to take time.
Commuters in Kent also face disruptions due to a separate landslip next to the tracks in Newington, with a six-mile section closed until the end of the week.
