Lines at Stratford, Willesden Junction and Richmond have reopened following reports of vandalism on trains earlier this morning (Monday, 7 April).

The disruption, which lasted from 4:54am to 6:53am, led to cancellations on services operating through these stations.

Via X (formerly Twitter), National Rail said: "Lines have now reopened following earlier vandalism to trains at #Richmond. 

"While service recovers, trains running between these stations may still be cancelled.

"Disruption is expected until approximately 08:00."
