Southeastern passengers face disruption today after the train company announced it was amending its timetable because of 'slippery' tracks.

In an alert put out this morning, the rail operator said: "On days or weeks when leaf-fall is at its highest and rails are most slippery, train operators will need to introduce a different timetable on some routes. This is to make sure you are where you need to be with the minimum of delay.

"Conditions today are expected to be particularly challenging and Southeastern will be running a revised timetable throughout the day, particularly during off-peak periods."

Currently the company is reporting minor disruption on the Woolwich, Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Hayes and Grove Park lines.

Southeastern advises people to check their journey on its website or keep up to date on Twitter with the hashtag #SEAutumn
