Trains across south London have been disrupted because of 'poor rail conditions' after the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo blew through the region.

Some services have been disrupted, others running slow because of slippery tracks.

There were speed restrictions on the Wimbledon line in and out of London with commuters at stations from Clapham Junction, to Surbiton and Esher affected.

A engineering problem at Sydenham disrupted services between Norwood Junction, Crystal Palace and New Cross Gate, according to Network Rail.

Trains including the Caterham to London Victoria, the Streatham Hill to London Bridge service,  were delayed.  Southern Rail said the problems were caused by poor rail conditions and signalling problems.

 

Last night it had tweeted: "We are planning to operate a normal service tomorrow morning following weather warnings of high winds."

South West Trains tweeted this morning: "We are experiencing poor rail adhesion across parts of our network this morning. This is delaying some trains by up to 10 minutes.

"Some trains have had trouble accelerating as the wheels slip when applying power."

 

 


 

A disgruntled commuter trying to get to Sutton this morning said: "It is pathetic. So many trains cancelled or deayed because of 'poor weather'.

"There have been a few drops of rain and winds gusting up to about 10 miles an hour."
