London: City Thameslink station is shut down today because of a burst water main. The issue started early this morning, around 1:33 AM, and it’s caused quite a mess.

Trains can still pass through, but passengers can only get off at Blackfriars or Farringdon. This detour could add about 15 minutes to your trip, which is a bit of a hassle.

Plus, trains are moving slower than usual, so expect some delays. If you have prepaid tickets, you can use them on buses and the Tube to help ease the situation.

Repair work is expected to last until the end of the day. If your journey is seriously delayed, you might be eligible for compensation, so keep that in mind.

Routes to places like Horsham, Brighton, and Gatwick Airport are affected. You can check the National Rail website for live updates and alternative travel options.

This isn’t the first time London has faced a burst water main recently. Just two days ago, a huge geyser erupted over Shepherd’s Bush Green, causing more chaos.
