Southeastern train timetables are being amended today and tomorrow because of 'extreme leaf-fall conditions.'
The following lines will be affected: the Greenwich line, the Bexleyheath line, the Gravesend line, the Hayes line, the Grove Park line and the Herne Hill line.
A statement on Southeastern's website said: "You wouldn’t think the humble leaf could cause so much trouble. Thousands of tonnes of leaves fall onto wet train tracks every autumn.
"These can form a smooth and slippery layer of mucky mulch on the rails.
"Our trains then find it harder to grip the track and brake. This also confuses the signals, which rely on electric currents in the track to work out where the trains are."
For full details of the amended timetables check Southeastern's website.
