Network Rail travel chaos as protestor scales Charing Cross bridge

Must read

Services in and out of a major London train station have been diverted as a result of a protester on the line as it crosses Charing Cross bridge.

A Network Rail spokesman told Express.co.uk: “Trains are being disrupted while the emergency services respond to a trespasser near to the railway between Waterloo East and Charing Cross.

“This is one of the busiest parts of the network and some services are being diverted to other London stations to reduce delays and congestion.

“Southeastern customers who have been delayed by more than 15 minutes should claim Delay Repay compensation on their website.”

It was not immediately clear what the man was protesting about but his sign read: “Ombudsman needed homeless are cash cow gov 2 billion charities 100s millions we have no voice.”

Express.co.uk has approached British Transport Police for more details.
