    Show details
    Hide details

    A points failure at Purley has resulted in some lines being blocked.  Train services running through this station may be cancelled or delayed by up to 10 minutes.

    Disruption is expected until 16:00.

    Customer Advice:
    A regular service is running however some trains may need to be altered, so you should check prior to travelling.

    Platform alterations at Purley will occur whilst platform 6 is out of use, so you should listen to station announcements and check the information screens for your service.

    How is this currently affecting the train service?
    Platform 6 is currently out of use at Purley. Other platforms are able to be used however some congestion and delays can be expected whilst waiting for these platforms to become available.

    Can you tell me more about the incident?
    A set of points at Purley are affecting the line into platform 6 and as a result this platform cannot be used at this time. Points are movable sections of track which allow trains to move from one line to another. When they fail it means that trains are unable to continue on their correct route.

    Network Rail technicians on site at investigating and further staff are expected at approximately 15:00 to work to make the reapirs needed to enable us to use this platform again.

    Can you tell me more about the incident?
    We have been advised by Network Rail, that urgent repairs are required to part of their track between Peterborough and Huntingdon in the direction towards London is required.
