Commuters are continuing to suffer in today’s heatwave after smoke was spotted on a South Western Railway train track between London Waterloo and Vauxhall stations.
South Western Railway (SWR) confirmed they have cancelled some services after smoke was reported on the track.
Trains on other lines are also being forced to run slower than usual while a safety inspection takes place.
Delays are expected to and from London Waterloo and Guildford, Woking, Chessington South, Dorking, Hampton Court, Shepperton, and Strawberry Hill.
SWR did not say whether the incident is related to high temperatures.
And it is not just the smoke. SWR said it had already cancelled a number of services scheduled today to ‘help minimise any potential disruption’ from the hot weather.
It warned that this may affect journeys between London Waterloo and Weymouth via Winchester, Southampton, and Bournemouth, and between London Waterloo and Aldershot via Woking and Guildford.
