Changes to rail services in south-east London have disrupted the journeys of commuters London this morning (January 12).
Many commuters have taken to Twitter to express their frustration about the overcrowding and less frequent services at stations.
Several people on Twitter shared their concern about how crowded the trains were by tweeting Southeastern.
Oh @Se_Railway, I don't even know where to start. Abysmal service, all trains packed by Hither Green so no one can get on @Se_Raleway #crap

Others reported having to leave trains due to them being too crowded.
Hey @SouthernRailUK I've just been kicked off a 2nd train this morning due to problems at LBG. Dangerous overcrowding at New Cross Gate.

A spokesperson for Southeastern thanked passengers for their patience while redevelopment work at London Bridge goes on and said that an extra 170 workers have been placed at stations to help passengers.
They also said: "Services this morning were busy, as expected, but more than 92 per cent of our trains arrived on time.
"We're running longer trains on routes where we expect demand to be high and we'll be monitoring our service over the next few days and weeks to identify any adjustments that are needed.
"We'd like to thank passengers who got in touch with us on Twitter this morning for their feedback, which will be considered as part of this review process."
