The displays at Stevenage railway station warned of problems on the mainline between London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire

There are delays to rail services serving the capital after a person was hit by a train.

Passengers have been warned of delays between London, Cambridge and Peterborough.

A spokesperson from Thameslink Railway said "major disruptions" were expected until midday.

All running trains between these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised, said the spokesperson.

Meanwhile, a fault with the signalling system at London Blackfriars means that fewer Thameslink services are able to run across the network:

trains might be cancelled, revised or delayed by up to 20 minutes

reduced service between Bedford and Gatwick Airport/Three Bridges

trains between East Croydon and East Grinstead suspended

trains between Luton and Orpington suspended

trains between Cambridge and Brighton suspended

trains between Welwyn Garden City and Sevenoaks will operate only between London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks

trains between Luton and Rainham will operate only between Dartford and Rainham

Trains that usually run between Peterborough and Horsham, will call additionally at Salfords and Earlswood, in both directions

Trains that usually run between Cambridge and London King's Cross will call additionally at Ashwell & Morden station, in both directions
