Urgent repairs to a railway line is set to cause disruption to multiple train lines in Kent tonight.

Southeastern posted an announcement this evening warning customers that their journeys will be affected.

Emergency work required at Bickley will close lines through the station after 9.30pm tonight.

Services that will be affected in Kent include the Sole Street Line and Maidstone East Line.

Trains from Victoria towards Rochester and Faversham will be diverted via Dartford with extended journey times, and won't stop at any stations between Victoria and Rochester.

Replacement buses will run from Bromley South towards Rochester.

Trains between Victoria and Ashford will be diverted via Sevenoaks. They will not call at Bromley South, St Mary Cray or Swanley. This longer route means they will be delayed departing Otford and arriving at stations to Ashford.

Replacement buses will run between Bromley South and Sevenoaks, calling at Otford. Change at Otford for alternative services down the Maidstone East Line towards Ashford.

Southeastern has told customers that after 9.30pm they can use their ticket at no extra cost on Southeastern High Speed services, London Underground between their London terminals and London Buses between London, Orpington and St Mary Cray
