Trains on the Bexleyheath line are back up and running - four days after landslide at Barnehurst closed the tracks between Lewisham and Dartford.
The line was re-opened this morning following a landslide at 10pm on Monday evening (January 11) and a further landslide on Wednesday, meaning no trains could run on the tracks.
Work has been ongoing on the site since Monday evening. Picture: Network Rail
Network Rail had sent engineers to fix Monday's landslide, which saw 200 tonnes of soil, rock and trees land on the track, with a view to restoring services by rush hour yesterday, however works took longer than expected.
It was announced this morning that extensive repair works have been carried out and trains can now run as normal.
Southeastern are encouraging frustrated commuters to apply for refunds for journeys affected by the landslide. Click here for more information.
