No trains from Honiton to London Waterloo due to signal failure

There are no trains running from Honiton to London's Waterloo this morning due to a major signal failure.

This morning (Thursday 13 April) South Western Railway urged customers not to attempt to travel to the capital due to unexpected disruption.

A much reduced service will be running from Waterloo, and only on a small number of lines. There will be no trains to or from Honiton.

The disruption is expected to last the rest of the day and will affect the rest of the network.

Peter Williams, SWR's Customer and Commercial Director, said: "We are very sorry for the disruption this morning. Due to a major signalling problem, which is still under investigation, we are advising customers not to attempt to travel to or from London Waterloo this morning.

"Disruption is expected to last until the end of the day, with significantly fewer services able to run on a very limited number of lines. While the problem is in the Waterloo area we do expect the wider network to be affected as trains and their crews will be displaced. 

"If you are travelling on the wider network please check before you travel using a journey planner. Once again we're sorry for the disruption."
