Major fire breaks out in south east London disrupting trains

A major fire has broken out tonight in what appears to be the Bermondsey area.

Photos and video show a fire in the same general area to a blaze which hit a recycling plant back in June.

That was beside Bermondey’s SELCHP incinerator as well as near a number of railway lines.

According to the London Fire Brigade around 100 firefighters are on scene.

Travel impact

Rail company Southeastern state:

“A fire on a property near London Bridge means some lines are disrupted. As a result, trains that call at London Bridge may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

“Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

“A large fire has broken out at a recycling plant between New Cross and London Bridge. Currently some lines are unsafe for the passage of trains.”
