TRAIN services are being disrupted because of an earlier fire at Woolwich Dockyard station.
A pile of rubbish on a track close to a platform edge was alight at around 7.40am and five cables were damaged.
This section of track is still closed and Southeastern is running trains from London to Kent as a shuttle service' to bypass the station.
Passengers can travel from London Bridge to Charlton but will then need to get on a bus from Charlton to Plumstead before boarding a train from Plumstead to Dartford.
Normal service is expected to resume by around 2pm.
London Underground, Docklands Light Railway and buses are allowing passengers with Southeastern train tickets to travel on all reasonable routes.

Rail replacement buses are also running on the route.
The station was evacuated when the fire was discovered and the power to the lines was switched off while firefighters tackled the flames.
One train, the 7.16am from Dartford to Charing Cross, was stuck between Woolwich Arsenal and Woolwich Dockyard stations when the electricity supply was turned off.
The passengers on the service were taken back to Woolwich Arsenal.
A Southeastern spokesman said: "This has caused considerable disruption and we regret any delay which has been caused to people's journeys.
"We have done our best to try to deal with the situation."
Took me 2 and half hours to get to work today, had to go back out to Dartford to get a train back in!!! Complete nightmare...best leave work now just to get home at a reasonable time!

I come in from Abbey Wood. Had heard about the problems so got bus straight to Barnehurst. Should be in work by 9.30, was in by 10.15, so not bad at all really.

Took me near 3 hours to get to work today thanks to the fire. NOT IMPRESSED!! Had to get a cab to Dartford as all buses were not stopping for any of us trying to get to a station- all were too crammed with people in the same boat.. NIGHTMARE. Then, to top it all off.. the train didn't even stop at London Bridge but by-passed it entirely due to congestion!! I then had to make my way back after waiting for a train for 20+ mins. Should have stayed at home...

I wonder who started the fire?
Often vandals cause many people a lot of trouble and the train company gets the blame - of course it may not be vandals but a maintainence problem........ Hope everyone has a better journey home

Took me 3 hours this morning - apparently it was something to do with the actualy train, something attached to it burst into flames? Sounded serious from what I heard but things do tend to get blown out of proportion. I hope no one on the train was hurt.

all because of a bin bag?!!!
maybe the train companies should start cleaning the rubbish off the side of the tracks!
also, why do bus passengers all crowd round the doors and not go upstairs when there is space? this prevents others getting on the bus! selfish people!
will the london underground ever be extended to bexley???

Took me just under 4 hours to get from Dartford to Teddington this morning. Left home at 7, got to work at 10:50am. I hope this evening is ok!! That's just too much travelling.

Oh look the great british public at it's best, you can't moan and groan about the weather because it has been lovely, so you all start moaning about your journey into work.
Do stop moaning!

When I got to my train station this morning, I was not surprised that there were no trains as I had properly prepared and planned my jorney prior to leaving my house. Maybe a little forward thinking next time people!

I was on the train 07:23 train from Woolwich Arsenal station this morning and as we arrived in Woolwich Dockyard we heard a massive bang followed by huge flames and lots of smoke.
I doubt it was a rubbish bag that caused the fire but it was definitely something on the track.
What worried me more was that the driver made the decision to carry on with the journey!!! How could he make decision like that when heh clearly could not see if the the train itself was on fire. The train should have been cleared and the station evacuated!
I got off the train and saw some flames under Platform 2 and my friend & I advised the station supervisor to call 999.

[bold]bold[/bold] "Pink Kitten" how about you try commuting to work on a packed train, that you have paid extreme prices to board, in this heat, with people coughing, smelly armpits, and delays for 2 hours instead of sitting on your arse on this website, then maybe you could comment on the fact that people were irritated with the fact they was late to work today.
Need to get a life your embarassing yourself.

I was in the rear carriage of the 07:23 from Woolwich Dockyard that came across the smoke. It smelled of paper burning and was white. There were clouds of it as we came into the station - hard to tell if it had been there before we arrived.
The doors didn't open for a while, then they did (and people got off). The driver didn't just drive off - I saw him run down to the back of the train and see where the smoke was coming from, then he ran back, made an announcement and pulled out the station. So I guess he was checking it wasn't the train, and given it wasn't, the safest thing to do was to get everyone out of there rather than have a trainful of people getting up the narrow steps at Woolwich Dockyard through the smoke.

Stinky Kitten you talk cr@p!!!! All you do is insult people and the comments they make!! Seeing as you drive to "work" then you don't really have a place to comment on this subject so why not go be rude to someone else! P.S. Does anyone have any travel updates?

I think it is pretty out of order thay you have just rubbished Pink Kittens comments like that. Its true that you all can't stop moaning, anyone would think that the world was about to end. It is not her fault that you are highly stung individuals that have CHOSEN to live so far away from your place of work that you have such a long commute. Anyway, must go and blow the top off a couple of cold ones while everyone else tries to push their way onto a train.

Can crusher is obviously just the same kind of uncaring type as pink kitten (silly names people give themselves).

I usuall get in at work 9:30, got in at 11 today, several buses passed me. Decided to go to by bus from Woolwich to Lewisham and get a train from there.
As long as it's fixed tomorrow I don't care, it was a smashing day and I'd soon forgotten about the trouble as I had lunch in Regents park with my work mates.
P.S. I don't moan about this incident, maybe because I'm [bold]Swedish[/bold]?
By the way, how do we know this wasn't a bomb put out to try and derail a full train in the rush hour. It's (sadly) happened before.

This was apparantly called a "Rubbish" fire.
so the people of Woolwich cannnot even start a proper fire.
In WW we would never have a "rubbish" fire.
Our fires would be of a high quality and be fierce.

How can you all justify moaning over delays on the train? Have you not seen the news this week? There are people dead, hungry and without homes and you think it is significant to moan about being an hour late for work and having to face your boss?
Let's get things into perspective here.
Like I said previously stop moaning.

I didn't seem to be effected by this in the morning, but on the way home my train was delayed. However, from reading these comments made I think pink kitten you really can't comment on this seeing as you drive to work. I use to drive to work myself and now getting the train and tube every morning, I can a confidently say that you have more of a luxury way of travelling to work. What you do need to understand is this sort of thing that happens now and then is a nuisance and people will moan and groan as it's annoying that you have plans and a job to do and this ruins it completely. You would think however people would be pleased about being a few hours late for work. Also bringing other things into this conversation is not necessary e.g. people dying. I'm sure everyone who read the metro on the way to work yesterday made a donation!

My travel into work is great, I can have a cigarette when I want, I'm not squashed like a sardine, I listen to my radio and if I get stuck in traffic my boss is very understanding as he drives himself. I don't have to put up with people who smell, people with there silly ringtones or people coughing and spluttering their germs around. It's heaven. Happy commuting!

You say you have a job, yet 24.7 you are on here making pointless, mindless comments about topics that in no way concern you. Doesn't your boss mind? Clearly "pink kitten" and "can crusher" are the same person, if your trying to play that game atleast attempt to not make it so odvious. Anywho, people like myself that work in the city, who pay to travel on these south eastern trains, have the right to comment and moan all they want as there money is being spent on delays, signal problems, packed trains etc. Unlike yourself who has no reason to even be commenting. Oh and in response to "can crusher" - People choose to work in the city for the chance to earn more money , to improve their life styles, provide the best for families, and to work in a high status role where they can do there best. Something you clearly do not understand.
Oh and yes i am going to moan now. Got to Canon St station at around 5.35 last night to find the station was closed and shutters down, after 10mins re-opened only to find my train was cancelled. Then suddenly reappeared. The chaos caused was unbelivable. Put the prices down now this is becoming a joke! Everyday this week i have been delayed and signal problems
That would be all!

To Pink Kitten, good for you! Perhaps all the sugar in the tea is affecting your ability to spell? Maybe you should cut the sugar out? Besides there is nothing wrong in making tea for your colleagues is there pink kitten? I can only assume that you have to do this quite frequently in your job and it is obviously frustrating you, hence the reason you keep on bringing the subject of "tea making" up? Perhaps you should look elsewhere for a job if it annoys you so much? I would not recommend working in the city of London or London's West End, that might mean you commuting by train and actually getting caught up in delays etc... Actually, that might not be a bad idea, then you might grasp the concept of this being a discussion on train delays and the affect it had on people's journeys into and from work.

Sorry that some of you experienced delays , but as stated cables were damaged. These would have been signalling cables and/or communication cables..it s for your saftey that the extent of the damage has to be assessed.
Unfortunatly, some delays are beyond our control. The railway has a huge amount of committed people who are under lots of pressure to keep the trains running safely and on time all the time.....when you consider the amount of trains that run countywide each day, we really don't do a bad job. Please don't think that we don't care because we do.
