Train services to and from London Bridge are being disrupted following a safety inspection of the track between Tulse Hill and Streatham.

Trains are currently running at reduced speed through the area, which may lead to delays of up to 20 minutes or changes to normal services.

Southern services between London Bridge and East Croydon are operating through the affected section at reduced speed, meaning some delays should be expected.
