Shortly after the fire South Western Railway said: "Due to a fire at a station at Clapham Junction all London bound lines are blocked. Train services running to and from this station may be delayed.

"This means that trains are unable to run through platforms 3/4 at Clapham Junction.

"Due to weekend engineering works, no other London bound lines are currently available."
