Major disruption on ALL Southern trains for the rest of service today. ALL service to/from Victoria station is suspended due to a gas leak at Battersea Park, which the fire service have put a cordon around - which includes the rail lines.

Use Blackfriars or London Bridge - tickets accepted on pretty much all reasonable routes.

LFB have declared it safe for trains to run, lines reopening now but massive delays to last the evening.

Maybe still use Thameslink though.

Victoria being closed is usually swiftly followed by London Bridge being closed due to overcrowding, and vice versa. Best travel advice for the next couple of hours - unless you have a flight to catch - might be to find a pub and watch Germany v Portugal.
