Fans travelling to Brentford vs Bristol City should be advised that due to a train derailing after colliding with a wagon outside Waterloo.

There are engineering works going on at the London terminus already and the incident has led to the cancellation of trains that use the Hounslow Loop at Brentford.

Fans travelling to the game are advised to avoid using South West Trains for the rest of the day.

A South West Trains statement read: “An earlier points failure and an unrelated low-speed partial derailment has caused extensive disruption to services this morning.

“Trains are unable to use platforms 1 to 13 at London Waterloo and this reduction in available platforms means that many services will need to terminate before London Waterloo and many services will start away from London Waterloo.

“Most trains are experiencing severe delays and are subject to short notice alterations. Disruption to services is likely to persist until the end of service on 16th August 2017.

“Train service information for tomorrow (16th August 2017) will be included in this message later today as more information becomes known.”

It continued: “Due to the time and place this event has occured, please be aware that the morning peak trains and stations will be very busy. South West Trains are advising not to travel on the network today.

“Our trains and stations are very busy. You should consider using alternative routes.”
