Train services through High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells are facing disruption today after an electricity supply failure forced the closure of the line from Tonbridge towards Tunbridge Wells.
As a result, some trains are being cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes, or running on revised schedules.
Engineers are on site at High Brooms inspecting the tracks and working to restore power, with disruptions expected to continue until around 5pm.
For passengers travelling via Charing Cross, services from Hastings or Tonbridge towards London are continuing to run, but some trains may be altered or cancelled because trains cannot operate beyond Tunbridge Wells.
Those planning to use Charing Cross are advised to check live updates and allow extra time for their journeys as schedules are temporarily affected by the ongoing power supply issues.
