Major rail disruption expected in southern England until end of day
On Thursday, May 7, 2026, a radio fault disrupting communications between trains and signallers caused widespread cancellations and delays across multiple rail services in southern England. Though the fault was resolved by 11:00 BST, major disruptions—including delays up to 90 minutes and cancellations—are expected to persist until the end of the day; London Overground and Great Western Railway services have returned to normal, while operators like South Western Railway, Southern, Gatwick Express, and Thameslink remain affected. Passengers are advised to check journeys in advance, use alternative routes, and may utilize their tickets on Friday or with other transport providers at no extra cost.
