The line-fire affected London-bound trains last night
A line-fire at Barnehurst station meant London-bound trains were disrupted.
The London-bound line was temporarily closed between Barnehurst and Blackheath last night (May 17) because of the blaze.
Trains were being diverted via Woolwich and Sidcup.
Because of a line-side fire at Barnehurst, the #Bexleyheathline is closed towards London. Trains towards Dartford can run. More to follow
