Major disruption to trains across England after radio fault | News UK
A radio system is wreaking havoc on train services across southern England this morning, with passengers warned of severe disruption.
Seven train companies have been affected: CrossCountry, Gatwick Express, Great Western Railway, London Overground, Southern, South Western Railway and Thameslink.
The fault has been placed in a radio system, used so that the driver and signaller can communicate.
South Western Railway said their engineers haven’t yet found where the fault is, and they don’t have an ETA as to when services will resume.
A National Rail spokesperson said: ‘Some services may be delayed by up to 90 minutes or cancelled as a result. Major disruption is expected until the end of the day.’
