Airport journeys: As this disruption will affect some trains via Gatwick Airport and Luton Airport, please leave plenty of extra time if you are connecting with a flight. Can you tell me more about the incident? Yesterday, there were reports of a track circuit failure on one of the two southbound lines in the Brockley area. Track circuits are used to detect and monitor the passage of trains, as part of the signalling equipment. Network Rail staff have remotely checked the system and discovered an electrical issue. Staff have then attended overnight, but unfortunately the fault could not be resolved, due to the complexity of the problem. Trains will be stopped and given verbal instructions to travel forward on the affected line, but this will lead to delays, so we have also had to make service changes to reduce congestion. Many of the service changes will take place in both directions, as otherwise trains and train crew would not be in the correct places to operate the rest of the timetable. Check before you travel: You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner. Compensation: You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
