UK: Significant rail disruptions reported between London and Woking March 4

All rail lines are blocked between London and Woking as of the morning of March 4. Services have been disrupted since around 05:50 after a train struck an obstacle on the track near Walton-on-Thames; no injuries were reported. Major disruptions are being reported to all South Western Railway services to London Waterloo via Woking, including services from Guildford and Basingstoke. Multiple services have been canceled, and significant disruptions will likely continue throughout the day.

Lingering rail disruptions will likely impact the affected lines after service officially resumes. Increased vehicular traffic congestion is possible in affected areas. Increased demand for available rail services will likely result in crowding on train station platforms and within carriages.
