Passengers are being warned to stay away from London Waterloo this morning due to a major signalling failure.

Major disruption is expected at the station, the fourth-busiest in the UK, until the end of the day.

South Western Railway said equipment that routes trains in and out of Waterloo had failed, meaning they could not use platforms one to 14.

A statement from the nationalised operator said: ‘Engineers are on site attempting to restore the use of the platforms, but with very few trains able to move in and out of London Waterloo and trains and crew already displaced, services across the network are severely disrupted.’

Services later in the day are ‘likely to be subject to delays and alterations’, though some trains are expected to run, it added.

Services at Waterloo underground station are believed to be unaffected by the issues.
