There is chaos on the tracks this morning as overrunning engineering works cause massive delays for Southeastern trains.

The engineering works at Cannon Street caused the station to close off this morning, and despite re-opening at about 7.40am, it is expected delays will last until the afternoon.

A spokesman for Southeastern said: "The weekend engineering work at London Bridge over-ran today.

"As a result of this, trains were unable to run to and from Cannon Street, for much of this morning.

"We have run an empty train over the area affected by the problem. Engineers have confirmed that we are now okay to run passenger services in to, and out of London Cannon Street."

Train services running to and from Cannon Street may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
