KENT commuters faced disruption this morning after a body was found on a railway line.

Trains in and out of Dartford have been delayed after the discovery at Lewisham.

Southeastern passengers trying to get to London Victoria from Dartford had their service suspended after the body was found at the Lewisham junction at around 6.45am.

A Southeastern spokesman said: "This will have unfortunately caused delay and disruption to many journeys during the morning peak. For this we can only apologise."

Alternative transport to other London train stations is being advised and passengers can use their tickets on the Docklands Light Railway, London Underground and the buses. Train services have been diverted around other stations where possible.
