CrossCountry, Greater Anglia and Stansted Express services are all affected with passengers travelling to and from the airport facing major disruption until at least 8.15pm.

It comes as delays are easing to rail services from King’s Cross after a person was hit by a train.

The incident shut lines between London and Stevenage but they have now reopened, with some disruption still expected until 8pm.

Operators affected include Thameslink, Lumo, LNER and Grand Central Rail.

Meanwhile an Overground service is partially suspended following a huge fire at a waste facility in Deptford earlier this week.

The Windrush line is not running between Surrey Quays and New Cross, according to TfL.
