Commuters continued to experience delays at London Bridge this evening after a signalling failure caused chaos during the evening rush hour.
Some travellers said they were locked out of the station, and two ambulances were reportedly parked outside.
National Rail is currently reporting delays on departures from London Bridge of around 40 minutes, with some services completely cancelled. The London Underground is no longer affected by the disruption.
