Commuters are facing yet another day of disruption through the country's busiest interchange at Clapham Junction in south London.

Some Southern Rail services have been cancelled, while others have been delayed. A number of trains will run with fewer carriages than normal, owing to stock displacement.

It follows the chaos on Thursday, which saw thousands of travellers stuck on boiling trains for up to five hours evacuated, after a power cut in the Clapham area.

The Gatwick Express, which was suspended yesterday, is now back in operation.

Network Rail has confirmed that ticket holders for trains running on Thursday, who chose not to travel because of the disruption, will be able to use their ticket today.

Engineers worked throughout the day yesterday to resolve the power outage in time for the evening rush hour, but commuters still faced lengthy delays and will continue to suffer a reduced service on Friday.

On the London Underground meanwhile, there are severe delays on the Victoria line between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters and Brixton and Victoria, due to a faulty train.
