Commuters are facing long delays and cancelled trains this morning due to signalling problems between Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.

Southeastern has warned passengers to expect disruption until the end of the day with services being either cancelled, delayed, replaced by buses or "revised".

In a statement, released just after 8.30am, the train operating company said: "Due to signalling problems between Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge all lines are disrupted.

"Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

"A reduced service plan is in place while Network Rail engineers fix the problem and a bus service will also be in operation between both stations to help bolster the service this morning.

"Train services may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day" -Southeastern spokesman

"Network Rail is working hard to fix the problem as soon as possible, however the work will not be completed until end of service today.

"We're sorry for any disruption you experience and assure you that we're doing all we can to restore a full service as quickly as possible."

The company has advised passengers to check the Southeastern website for updates or follow @SE_Railway on Twitter.
