Commuters trying to use Southern trains may be experiencing difficulties throughout the day today, as a shortage of train conductors causes delays and cancellations.
Several trains to and from Wimbledon have been cancelled already this morning, with disruption also being caused at Reigate, Redhill and London Bridge.
Cancellations this morning include the 6.35am Wimbledon to South Bermondsey, the 8.17am Redhill to Reigate, and the 8.31am Reigate to London Bridge.
Some commuters have expressed their frustration with the disruption on social media.
very tired of cancelled trains. Actually going to have to change my schedule and get earlier trains because Southern is so unreliable
