Major disruption at London Waterloo as SWR issues ‘do not travel warning'
A major signalling failure at London's Waterloo station has caused commuter chaos this morning, with disruption expected for the remainder of the day.
South Western Railways has urged customers 'do not travel this morning' due to 14 platforms at the busy station being out of service due to the failure.
In a statement on X, the railway operator said: 'Engineers are on sit attempting to restore the use of the platforms, but with very few trains able to move in and out of London Waterloo and crew already displaced, services across the network are severely disrupted.'
They added that while they were hoping to restore some services later on Monday, they would still likely be subject to delays and alterations.
