London Bridge station is in the midst of an "emergency incident" expected to bring major Saturday night disruption.
National Rail confirmed this evening that multiple lines and services were impacted by an incident attended by emergency services earlier this evening. The service said that, while several lines have reopened at London Bridge following the disruption, they will remain delayed until later this evening.
Representatives said in a statement that trains could still be cancelled and routes could be revised, with Southeastern, Southern and Thameslink advising their customers what to do. National Rail said: "Lines have reopened following the emergency services dealing with an incident at London Bridge. Trains may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised."

Any services that terminate and restart at London Bridge "have still been able to run as booked". While people can continue to travel using their normal routes, they have been told to check before they travel and "allow extra time for your journey", at least an extra 20 minutes.
Southern and Thameslink tickets will be accepted on the following routes for no extra cost:
Southern services to/from London Bridge and London Victoria
Thameslink services on any reasonable route
London Underground on any reasonable route between London Terminals
