London train delays: Gatwick and East Croydon major delays while Storm Isha brings havoc across the country

Large areas of the country woke on Monday morning (January 22) to widespread rail disruption caused by Storm Isha.

In London, planned engineering works between Gatwick Airport, Redhill and East Croydon on the weekend took longer than expected and disruption was expected until 9am. The works have been completed but National Rail says trains may still be cancelled, delayed or revised. 

The effects of Storm Isha include a tree on the line between Crystal Palace and Sydenham causing disruption between Victoria towards London Bridge. Trains may be cancelled or diverted away from the area.

On the London Underground, a damaged roof at Ealing Broadway station has led to no service between West Acton and Ealing Broadway, with minor delays on the resty of the line due to a shortage of trains.

There are severe delays on the Elizabeth line between Abbey Wood and Paddington due to a faulty train at Farringdon.

On London Overground there is no service between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction due to an "operational incident" in Willesden Junction area. There is no service between Sydenham and Crystal Palace due to an obstruction on the track.

The Metropolitan Line has minor delays between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Moor Park due to a points failure at Moor Park.

Other services facing disruption include Avanti West Coast, which runs services from Euston to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Chiltern has seen disruption across its network. A safety inspection on the line between High Wycombe and London Marylebone, following Storm Isha, has led to delays of up to 30 minutes.
