Ouch... Fire In The Railway Arches Near London Bridge Closes Tracks

Tracks to the west of London bridge affects trains heading for Charing Cross and Blackfriars

 

Wow. I assume the SouthEastern lines up to Faversham were closed. (Don't know much about London stations so I might be wrong).

 

The line in question is between Charing Cross and London Bridge, so the affected trains would be any out of CHX (which go to Dartford, Gravesend, Orpington, Folkestone, Ramsgate and a few others) or via Blackfrairs (so Orpington, Rainham, Brighton)

The Faversham route via HS1 comes out of St Pancras, the Faversham route (non-high speed) is from Victoria via the Chatham Mainline (so a few miles south of this incident)

Fun fact though, the bridge at the bottom of the shot is the replacement of the bridge seen in the Harry Potter movies when he goes to the Leaky Cauldron...

 

I see.

 

Another one! I thought they had sealed all those arches up to prevent things like this.

 

This has to be the SEML where it runs from Charring Cross to Dover.

 

Yes, the very Northern part in London proper
