Delays are expected throughout the morning after a train caught fire in Lee earlier.
One Twitter user said the station was evacuated as the London Fire Brigade arrived to deal with the incident.

Southeastern say the lines have now re-opened but that there will be delays, cancellations and short notice alterations to trains between London and Dartford.
Railway tickets are also being accepted on buses.
There are no reports of any injuries.
All lines have now reopened between Hither Green and Dartford, as the train that had broken down at Lee has moved. However, Train services may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or diverted via Bexleyheath or Woolwich as the service recovers. #Lee
