Trains from London toward Woking are not running beyond Surbiton due to a lightning strike in the town.
South West Trains also said earlier signalling problems at Waterloo have been resolved, but delays of up to 60 minutes will continue until further notice.
"Following a lightning strike in the Surbiton area NO TRAINS are able to run BEYOND SURBITON travelling away from London." - Oh joy.
