Signalling issue near Brockley

[London Trains]

Theres been some sort of signalling issue affecting Southern, Thameslink and London Overground between New Cross Gate and Norwood Junction.

NRE states that this will have to be looked at overnight, and my assumption would be that the issue is on the fast lines as no stations are being skipped?

Currently it appears all LO Highbury to West Croydon services are being terminated at Surrey Quays and all SN London Bridge to Epsom services are all cancelled.

I imagine creating paths on the slow lines for the Thameslinks

There’s a few TL services not calling at Norwood Junction and London Bridge so would they be going via Crystal Palace and Elephant & Castle?

Bearing in mind the Southern is a maze of lines!

Yes, looks like my 1833 from East Croydon to Bedford is not stopping at Norwood junction or London bridge so it must be going that way.

Tram and bus for me to get back to forest hill!

More likely Selhurst and Elephant, as that's the official diversionary route. Some drivers may still sign via Crystal Palace

Actually probably going via selhurst / streatham common!

No, Thameslink don't go via Crystal Palace any more - diversion is via Streatham and Elephant & Castle using the curve at Streatham Common.

Ahh wasn’t sure, it’s all a maze down there to me anyway.

Disruption tlcontinues this morning. NRE says it's still being worked on as it "is a complex issue".

Looks like about 3 in 4 London Bridge services stopping at Forest Hill are either cancelled outright or skip stopping.

Indeed, had to catch a 6am 197 bus to East Croydon this morning, actually got there in 30 minutes, not much slower than getting the train and changing at Norwood Junction.

If I had left an hour later I am sure it would have taken a lot longer ....
