(about 3 hours later) | |
A fire has caused major travel problems for commuters heading into London. | |
There were two explosions at an industrial site in Deptford, south-east London, and about 200 residents were asked to leave their homes. | |
The blaze involved gas cylinders so a 200m exclusion zone around the site was set up, though it has now been removed. | |
As the fire was near the line into New Cross, there were no services into London Bridge, Cannon Street, Waterloo East or Charing Cross. | |
The train services affected included Southeastern Trains, Southern and First Capital Connect. | |
Southeastern London train services are expected to be disrupted until the end of the day. | |
Any diverted trains will go into Victoria or Blackfriars and tickets can be used on London buses, the Underground and Docklands Light Railway. | Any diverted trains will go into Victoria or Blackfriars and tickets can be used on London buses, the Underground and Docklands Light Railway. |
