National Rail said that services “may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised” and would not return to normal before 8.30am.
Thameslink has confirmed that because of “congestion”, passengers can use their ticket at no extra cost on “reasonable” London Overground routes and on TfL buses between Blackfriars and West Hampstead Thameslink.
