From National Rail Enquiries disruptions page

A safety inspection of the track between Otford and Maidstone East means some lines are blocked. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised. This is expected until 19:00.

What's happened?

It's been reported that the 15:55 service from Maidstone East to Blackfriars is being delayed at Borough Green & Wrotham checking reports of sparks under the train.

Response staff are on their way to the area.

How does this affect my journey?

The line from Maidstone East towards London is currently blocked. The line from London towards Maidstone East is open however services are being delayed and may be diverted to avoid too many trains through the area.

Trains from Ashford up to Maidstone East and beyond will be diverted via Paddock Wood or cancelled.

What do I need to do?

We are enquiring about rail replacement bus services and will publish more information when we have it.

Please allow more time to reach your destination and check online journey planners for up to date information.
