National Rail has warned frustrated commuters that services to and from London Waterloo will be "disrupted" until 10am this morning.
A points failure affecting platform 1 at London Waterloo has resulted in cancellations and delays.
Commuters are now being advised to travel via bus.

A statement said: "Engineers have been made aware and are en-route to site to investigate the fault."
This comes after a turbulent two weeks for South Western Railway after a ticket machine failure on Tuesday;Β the week before saw the completion of multi-million pound engineering works which quickly followed by another signalling problem.
Train users have again taken to social media this morning to express their anger.
It's been going well for London Waterloo since the reopening hasn't it? π

There was a points failure outside of Waterloo and a track circuit failure at Hounslow which is still ongoing, these caused the delays. ^BV
