A major signal equipment fault at London Bridge has caused major disruption to services to south London.

Journey times have been extended by at least 30 minutes, First Capital Connect said, on its services from central London to Streatham, Tooting, Wimbledon and Sutton. 

Services are being diverted from London Bridge to Elephant and Castle.

Southern Railway said no trains are running between London Bridge and Norwood Junction via Forest Hill and Norwood Junction and London Bridge via Tulse Hill, extending journey times by up to 90 minutes.

There was further disruption for commuters coming home to Wimbledon and Clapham Junction from Victoria, which was closed due to overcrowding.
