Trains have been cancelled or delayed this morning due to a fallen tree.
All services between London and Dartford via Woolwich were affected.
Southeastern warned commuters on X, formerly known as Twitter, of the disruption at about 5.50am this morning.
“Because of a tree on the line between Maze Hill and Greenwich, no services can run between London and Dartford via Woolwich,” the rail firm said.
Woolwich line trains were also being diverted via Sidcup or Bexleyheath.

The train company says commuters can use their ticket for no extra cost on other transport links.
This includes the DLR between Lewisham and Greenwich, London Underground between North Greenwich and London Bridge, Elizabeth Line between Abbey Wood and central London, as well as London Buses on reasonable routes between Dartford and Greenwich.
It was reported that engineers were at the site from 7.14am. The tree has since been removed and the line has been cleared.
Trains can now run between Cannon Street and Dartford via Woolwich, however, there are still delays to trains towards London via Woolwich and Bexleyheath.
A spokesperson added: “Some trains may still be altered while we work to restore normal service.”
