A fault in the radio network preventing communication between drivers and signallers disrupted train services across southern England during the morning rush hour. London Waterloo and the Wessex route connecting London with the south and south-west were particularly affected. South Western Railway experienced the most disruption, with services cancelled or delayed by up to 90 minutes. Multiple operators including Southern, CrossCountry, Gatwick Express, Great Western Railway, London Overground, and Thameslink also faced disruptions. The technical problem was resolved by 11am, but major disruption continued throughout the day. Passengers were advised to allow extra time, check before travelling, and could use tickets on alternative routes at no additional cost.
