Points failure disrupts Southern services at Watford Junction
Period:Thursday, May 14 to Thursday, May 14
Operators:Southern
Related Information:A points failure at Watford Junction means that some lines are disrupted. As a result, train services running through this station may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer advice:
Southern services that run between East Croydon and Watford Junction will be disrupted by a points failure near Watford Junction.
Services will run between East Croydon and Shepherd's Bush only. This means you will need to use an alternative route for the following stations:
Wembley Central.
Harrow & Wealdstone.
Watford Junction.
If you are affected by cancellations or service changes, you may need to use a different route to complete your journey. Although this is usually quicker than waiting for the next train, it will still take up to 30-45 minutes longer than usual, so please leave extra time.
Your Southern ticket for this route will be accepted at no extra cost on:
London Underground services on any reasonable route across Central, North and West London.
London Overground services on the:
Mildmay line between Clapham Junction, Shepherds Bush and Willesden Junction.
Lioness line between Euston, Willesden Junction, Wembley Central, Harrow & Wealdstone and Watford Junction.

Can you tell me more about this?
A points failure has been reported, and this is preventing trains from using some of the routes through this area.
Points are moveable sections of track which can send trains onto different routes at junctions. These are part of the signalling system, generally managed by Network Rail.
Points can stop moving correctly for a number of reasons. For example, there may be an obstruction in the moving parts, or the electronic control systems may have developed a fault.
There are various backup systems which allow signallers to try to "set" the points, and in some cases, the points may be available for trains in one of the directions they serve, but not another. However, with more severe failures, the line in question may be blocked entirely.
Network Rail will send their specialist Signalling & Telecoms teams to site, and they will set up a safe method of working on the track. To allow staff to access the railway, sometimes we have to stop trains completely, which can lead to your train being held at stations or signals en route.
As soon as it's safe to go on the line, the staff will diagnose the fault and find any quick solutions to resolve it.
Whilst this is being done, we will be monitoring progress closely. At times, replacement parts may be needed, or specialist advice from suppliers, which is why some points failures take longer to resolve than others.
