A fire broke out at Queens Road Peckham station on Wednesday, prompting an emergency response and widespread disruption to rail services in South London.
London Fire Brigade crews were called to reports of smoke at the station, with firefighters working to bring the situation under control. The station was evacuated as a precaution, and emergency services established a cordon around the area.
Train services through the station were suspended in both directions, affecting London Overground and Southern routes. Commuters were warned of significant delays and cancellations, with passengers advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes while the incident was dealt with.
Transport operators said disruption was expected to continue while safety checks were carried out and the cause of the fire investigated. Rail replacement buses were introduced on some routes, though congestion was reported across parts of the South London transport network.
No injuries were reported at the time of the incident. Authorities said further updates would be issued as services gradually resume.
