London Waterloo hit by severe disruption after signalling failure
South Western Railway (SWR) asked customers not to travel on its services on Monday morning in a statement posted on social media.
Passengers have been told that they will not be able to claim a taxi ride from SWR but will be allowed to use their Monday-dated tickets on Tuesday.
The train company said: 'Due to a major signalling failure at London Waterloo, please do not travel on our services this morning.
'The failure of the equipment that routes trains in and out of the station means we cannot use platforms 1 to 14 at London Waterloo at this time, significantly limiting capacity.
'Engineers are on site attempting to restore the use of the platforms, but with very few trains able to move in and out of London Waterloo and trains and crew already displaced, services across the network are severely disrupted.
'While we are hoping to restore some services later in the day, these are still likely to be subject to delays and alterations.
'Customers should please check back for updates. We are very sorry for the disruption to journeys this morning.'

Huge boost for 'declining' UK seaside town as abandoned pier to get £13m refurb
Following years of outrage from locals and tourists a like, it seems one seaside town is finally ready to bring its abandoned pier back to life, thanks to a £13 million pot of funding A 164-year-old pier defining one of the UK's most popular seaside towns could be brought back to life by next year thanks to a hefty investment. Stretching out a staggering 3,600 ft (around 0.68 miles), Southport Pier is the second longest in the UK - and first opened back in 1860. For decades, it attracted swathes of tourists who walk around 10 minutes to reach the end of the pier and soak up the stunning sea-views, as well as to make use of the indoor cafe and small arcade. Visitors could also take the miniature railway, which whizzed Brits over to the end of the pier for just a couple of quid. But in 2022, the Victorian structure was closed due to safety fears, with necessary repairs estimated to cost a whopping £13 million. The three-year closure has sparked outrage amongst locals and tourists alike - with many arguing the abandoned site is the perfect omen for the 'declining' seaside town. In fact, one 'embarrassed' Brit dubbed Southport 'a very sad neglected town for tourists and residents' on TripAdvisor back in 2023. Another agreed, scathing: "It's time the council got this beautiful historical pier sorted and opened again! This is one of Southports main attractions and they cant afford to have the renovation. A real shame," while a third penned: "I still can't believe that Southport has been allowed to decline even further, the council do not seem to be bothered." Still, Visit Southport, the area's official tourist board, hailed the destination as being a 'fun-loving' seaside resort with 'attractions for all the family'. "[There's] an abundance of independent restaurants and bars making it a foodies' haven, and full of culture," it wrote. "When it comes to beaches, you're spoiled for choice. We have 22 miles of coastline from Formby Beach, Ainsdale Beach, Crosby Beach (where you can visit the famous Antony Gormley 'Another Place'), and Southport Beach itself. You can enjoy some of the most stunning views along our coast." However, last month Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed the pier would be eligible for cash from a new fund dedicated to speeding up 'forgotten' local projects. Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, Sefton Council leader Marion Atkinson said the authority would be ready to start work on the pier 'within six to eight weeks' of receiving the government funding. "We're absolutely wanting to get on with it," she said. The councillor stated that repairs would take between 12 to 14 months, adding: "We'll be looking at ways in which, if we can, to get it done as quickly as we possibly can. But, it does take a lot of time because there's a lot of work." When approached for comment, Sefton Council directed the Mirror to the Southport Pier's FAQ page. Here, the council explains that the pier endured a UK-wide extreme cold weather snap at the end of 2022 which caused 'further damage' to its structural condition. "Following an inspection by a team of independent Structural Engineers, Sefton Council was told to close the pier to protect the safety of anyone working on it or visiting the iconic tourist attraction," the council said. "A full and extensive independent structural survey was commissioned, the interim feedback from which has confirmed the need to keep the Pier closed until further extensive repair and replacement works are carried out. The final surveys state the same explicitly, and the Pier would no longer be insurable so had to be shut." Sefton Council says it has since engaged in several conversations with regards to external funding having already completed phase one of the decking replacement. The council also agreed to allocate £3 million to the Pier project. "Sefton Council has also made several appointments in order to specify the works that will be required to refurbish the Pier and we are preparing for appointing a contractor for the works, again reaffirming Sefton's commitment to the project," the authority added.

Travel expert issues warning over simple passport mistakes that will stop you from flying
Holidaymakers jetting off this summer should be aware of some simple issues with their passports that could prevent them from flying. When going on a trip, tourists often have to juggle many different things including travel insurance, transfers and their luggage. But one important factor to consider is your passport – and issues with it could cause problems when arriving at your destination or returning to the UK. Chris Harrington, managing director at transfer company Hoppa, shared his advice for those going away this summer. The travel expert emphasised the importance of making sure your passport isn't too damaged. He explained: 'If your passport is damaged to the extent that it impacts its ability to function or verify who you are, this can lead to it being declared invalid.' Chris advises checking the condition of your passport after booking a trip to avoid problems. He added: 'Once you have booked your holiday, ensure your passport is in good condition and it doesn't have any water damage, tears, rips, stains or any pages are missing. One important factor to consider is your passport and problems with it that could cause problems when arriving at your destination or returning to the UK 'In most cases, minor wear and tear is acceptable, but for anything more severe, you will need to apply for a new passport.' Though life can become busy, it is important to ensure documents such as passports are up to date – including reflecting any changes to personal information – in order to ensure they are still accurate and valid. Chris said: 'Your passport needs to have all of your correct details on. Including name and date of birth, which means if this isn't the case, it could be invalid. 'When making your travel booking, it's important that the details you enter reflect those that are on your passport. 'For example, if you get married and you make the booking with your new surname, the passport needs to also have the same details. 'If you need to apply for a new passport due to getting married, this can be done before or after the ceremony.' Another point to look out for is the expiry date on your passport. Even if it hasn't expired, it's important to note that some countries require the passport to be valid for three months from the departure date. Chris explained: 'One of the common mistakes people make is not being aware of when a passport has expired. 'When you are going abroad, you need to make sure that your passport was issued within the last 10 years of the date you enter the country. 'It's important to remember that this is counted from the date of issue and not the expiry date. 'Alongside the 10-year rule, Brits travelling to the EU and Schengen countries also need to be aware that their passport needs to be valid for at least three months beyond their departure date. 'It's also worth noting that for some destinations, there needs to be 6 months remaining on the passport, so it's important to check the regulations for the country you're travelling to.'

Outrage as luxury £425 a night hotel paid for by YOU taken over to house asylum seekers in ‘insult to law-abiding Brits
BRITAIN'S borders fiasco worsened last night when the Home Office took over a four-star hotel that costs tourists up to £425 a night. Rooms at the Britannia International, which boasts 'superb views over London', are being readied for asylum seekers at taxpayers' expense in anticipation of a summer surge in Channel crossings. 7 7 The move was last night branded an 'insult'. Residents and business owners said they fear for their safety, and that it would attract protests. A demo was held there on Tuesday and yesterday police guarded the hotel, while a fence had been thrown up around its entrance. Workers hauled beds inside, as Tower Hamlets Council confirmed it would be used for migrants — and said they should get the 'full package of support'. Britannia Hotels has hailed its biggest and flagship residence — as a 'modern, glass-fronted building close to the internationally famous business district'. When open to the public, a standard room can cost as much as £425 a night. They are said to have 'superb views over London'. The hotel offers two restaurants and bars, making it the 'perfect base for a city break'. Amenities include a games room with a pool table and gym. It is unclear if migrants will be allowed to use them. An indoor pool and sauna are thought to have been shut down. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp told The Sun: 'It is outrageous that the Government is splurging taxpayers' hard-earned money on luxury hotels for illegal immigrants when most people in this country would struggle to afford a hotel in central London. 'This is one of the most luxurious hotels people can only dream of staying in, right in the heart of London's financial centre. 'No wonder illegal immigrants are flooding across the channel in record numbers when this weak Labour government welcomes them with hotel accommodation funded by hard-working taxpayers. 'This is an insult to law-abiding citizens. 'The Government must urgently act to deport every single illegal arrival, then the crossings would rapidly stop but Keir Starmer is too weak to do this.' Susan Hall, Tory leader in London's City Hall, added: 'It's incredible that four-star hotels like this are being used to house migrants. 'This move will damage every small firm in Canary Wharf trying to survive. 'Women and children, I can tell you, don't feel safe around these hotels in London. 'It shows things are getting worse and worse for hard-working Brits, who are trying to keep their families going. 'This is the damage it is doing to society, and I think it is going to cause a really serious problem.' Some 23,534 migrants have already arrived on small boats this year — 48 per cent higher than this time in 2024. Sources indicated the International will remain empty until necessary, with the Home Office striking a deal to rent 400 rooms for £81 a night. It means the weekly bill for the hotel could be up to £226,800 if every room is used. Yesterday labourers were seen carrying mattresses into the hotel shortly after 8am. A team flanked by private security also brought in metal bed frames and a pallet of orange juice and food. It is thought agency staff have been drafted in to run it, with existing contractors let go. A cleaner and mum of two arrived for her last shift yesterday and said: 'I don't think it's right that I and all the staff have been given redundancy letters. 'We are taxpayers and have done nothing wrong. 'Now we will struggle to make ends meet. 'We are gutted.' On Tuesday 150 anti-migrant activists protested outside the International until 9pm. Just five took part in a counter protest. Some flocked there amid false rumours circulated by far-right thug Tommy Robinson that migrants had arrived there from the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex — also the scene of demos. Around 50 cops were drafted in to Canary Wharf, with no arrests. 7 7 Reform's chief whip Lee Anderson was at the International demo and said he was 'absolutely furious' at the hotel's closure. The MP added: 'This hotel here — it must cost a couple of hundred quid a night to stay there. 'Most normal people in this country would not be able to afford to stay here for a weekend, but we have illegals coming here.' Yesterday local homeowners told of their fears that a migrant hotel would tank property values. Software engineer Matt, who declined to give his surname, said: 'The houses here go for £1million, though probably not any more. 'I'm really worried about house prices going down. 'Now seems a bad time to sell up.' Mary, 58, who lives five minutes away, fumed: 'This used to be the best place in the world but it's gone to the dogs. 'I struggle on my pension. 'I paid taxes all my life. And they are in a four-star hotel?' It is thought there are 210 asylum hotels in the UK. It is important that the Government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel The council Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper have pledged to cut their use entirely by 2029. The Britannia Hotel group was approached for comment. It has a portfolio of 64 UK hotels and is a major provider of asylum accommodation. A cost-cutting drive has seen the average price of a migrant hotel room fall to £118.87, down from £162.16 in March 2023. Last month we told how the annual asylum support bill of £4.7billion was equivalent to the annual taxes forked out by a city the size of Manchester. Tower Hamlets Council said: 'We are aware of the Government's decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. 'It is important the Government ensures there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. 'We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place.' The Home Office said: 'We inherited a broken asylum system from the Tories with costs spiralling out of control. 'As part of the plan to restore order and close all asylum hotels by the end of the parliament, we are boosting border security, substantially increasing removals of those with no right to be here. 'We are also tackling the Tories' wasteful contracts by ending the use of more expensive accommodation and moving to cheaper options.' 7 7 7
