Commuters have been hit by disruption in London this morning after a signal fault.
Passengers using the route between Highbury and Islington to New Cross Gate and West Croydon have been hit by delays this morning.
Both London Overground and National Rail services are affected after a fault with the signalling system at West Croydon which is expected to wreak havoc for hours.
Transport for London (TfL) said part of the Overground is suspended.

Some services may be revised to terminate at New Cross Gate or diverted to Crystal Palace, National Rail warned.
The disruption is expected to last until 8pm.
