I am just outside the depot and in front of Selhurst station, where there is a panicked atmosphere.
People have been turning up to find out their trains have been cancelled or delayed and they are trying to re-route, which is likely to affect how their day will play out.
The no travel alert has now been lifted but the train derailment here at Selhurst is still impacting journeys, particularly those going north and south of London Bridge.
I spoke to one man who missed an important meeting at work and a school trip that had to take two buses just to get to Selhurst station.
Adi and Harry, aged 18, from the Brit School were not directly affected by the disruption, but saw the impact it caused.
Adi said: “One man was shouting down the phone about all the disruption. I can imagine it’s caused a lot of chaos for travellers.”
Harry added: “There was an hour delay from Streatham Common to Selhurst so that was annoying – it makes you late for stuff.”
