Southeastern apologises for more train delays following fault

The first tweet of the day was an apology as it warned commuters that trains from Crayford and Cannon Street and Barnehurst and Cannon Street would be cancelled.

It is not yet known what the fault is but Southeastern says it is under investigation.

Some people on social media suggested a driver was unwell. 

Southeastern responded to say a relief driver was on their way to Crowhurst. 

A relief driver is being sent there and we will get trains moving as soon as possible. Sorry for the delay ^CH

This comes after a day of chaos yesterday as a train derailed at Grove Park resulting in delays throughout the day.

Trains going between Cannon Street and stations in south east London were severely disrupted.

Disappointed passengers will hope they are not too late for work this morning ahead of the World Cup semi-final tonight involving England and Croatia.

One cheeky commuter Tweeted Southeastern to ask for a smooth service tonight.

@Se_Railway please for once just have your services in order this evening. We’re asking nicely.

However, not all commuters reacted nicely to the latest cancellations.

Thanks @Se_Railway a great start to the morning as my 6.13 Cannon Street train is cancelled! Next train will be horrendous as its overcrowded without this happening!
