A speed restriction in a tunnel between London St Pancras International and Stratford International is causing disruption to trains between these stations.

Trains between London St Pancras International and Stratford International may be delayed by up to 40 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 20:00.

What's happened?

Debris has been reported in one of the tunnels near Stratford International, so trains between London St Pancras International and Stratford are having to run at a reduced speed. Engineering staff have inspected the tunnel, and increased the speed that trains can pass through but this will still be slower than normal.

A London bound train has also lost power between Stratford International and London St Pancras International, blocking the other line for 25 minutes which has caused further delays to trains reaching St Pancras and begin journeys back towards Kent.

How does this affect my journey?

Trains between London St Pancras International and Stratford may be delayed by up to 40 minutes, and some High Speed services may be altered at short notice.
