Passengers travelling on Thameslink and Southeastern trains should brace themselves for lengthy delays as issues on several rail routes look set to continue well into the afternoon.

While disruption on the Elizabeth line and Heathrow trains from London Paddington has ended, elsewhere commuters face chaos.

Southeastern trains between Rochester and Gravesend have been delayed by up to 30 minutes after an electricity supply failure at Strood. Meanwhile, Thameslink has suspended services between Rainham and Luton as there are no trains available to cover the route, National Rail said.

If your journey is delayed by more than 15 minutes, you might be able to claim delay repay compensation. Scroll down to find out more.
