Anyone know what is happening between Dartford and Crayford? A broken down train has blocked the London bound line, which has led to Gravesend to Charing Cross trains being diverted via Barnehurst.

Loop services from Slade Green are still running via Sidcup, so I surmise that something has got stuck right on the triangle.

Services have been disrupted for at least three hours now, so whatever is the cause it is taking some time to shift.

Somebody - who will no doubt now be having a tea no biscuits chat - left a handbrake on. Cue a wagon with square wheels.

So "defective" freight wagon wasn't quite the right term (which is what I heard)... more like defective human causing wheel problems... :s
