Cancellations to services at Vauxhall
Due to a fire next to the track at Vauxhall some lines are blocked.
Impact:
Train services running through this station may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice:
At around 03:00 this morning, a major fire was reported at Vauxhall near to the line through platforms 3 and 4. Vauxhall station is partially closed to enable emergency service and our response staff to respond and deal with the fire. The line for fast services from Woking and the South West to London Waterloo is now open at a reduced speed. We are still unable to use 4 out of 8 main lines due to the fire at Vauxhall and will be running a very limited service until all lines are reopened.
