London Overground services between Richmond and Stratford are no longer disrupted following a train fault this morning (Wednesday, 7 May).

Commuters faced delays after a fault was reported on a train at Richmond shortly after 8am, leading to a reduction in services across the route.

Network Rail confirmed that the incident was cleared at 9:51am. However, services remain reduced while operations return to normal.

It said: "An earlier fault on a train at Richmond means some lines are currently disrupted. As a result, London Overground trains may be cancelled or revised. Disruption is expected until 10:00."

Travellers are advised to check their routes before setting off using the rail network's real-time Journey Planner.

Passengers affected by delays may be eligible for compensation. Find out more here.
