⚠️ NEW: A train, which wasn't in service, has just collided with a fallen tree at #Longfield.

❌ The line is blocked in both directions between Swanley and Rochester while the tree is removed from the line.

⚠️ UPDATE: We also now have reports of a tree falling on the line at #Kearsney, with the line now blocked in both directions.

❌ Trains can't currently run between Dover Priory and Faversham via Canterbury East in either direction.

⚠️ UPDATE: In addition to this, there are now trees reported on the line at #Broadstairs and at #MaidstoneBarracks, in addition to those at #Longfield and #Kearsney.

❌ Lines are blocked at both locations while staff work to get the trees clear of the line.

⚠️ This morning we have trees blocking lines at #Longfield, #Kearsney, #MaidstoneBarracks and #Broadstairs, in addition to the #MaidstoneEast and #Hastings Lines still being blocked.

❗ Please allow extra time if you're travelling this morning

⚠️ UPDATE: The train which struck the tree at #Longfield is now moving clear of the area - staff will then carry out final checks to remove the tree from the line, and then the line will be able to be reopened.

❗ There are still a number of trees blocking lines on our network

⚠️UPDATE: There are still trees blocking lines at #Longfield, #Kearsney, #Selling, #Broadstairs, #MaidstoneBarracks, as well as on the #MaidstoneEast and #Hastings Lines
