Rail travel was severely disrupted today as no Southeastern services currently operate between Tonbridge and Hastings due to a major power supply failure at Tunbridge Wells station. The disruption stems from a melted track component that has caused a complete power outage at the station.

Network Rail identified the issue as a melted “conductor pot” which is crucial for the electrical supply to the trains. The problem has necessitated the shutdown of power to the Southeastern trains, leading to widespread service interruptions along the Hastings line.
