A south west London railway line is disrupting the railway between Clapham Junction and Wimbledon this 9:08 this morning (21 September) due to a swan on the line.
The swan has nestled itself between Clapham Junction and Wimbledon, with South Western Railway (SWR) warning of disruption and delays.
SWR announced: "Trains have to run at a reduced speed on the line headed away from London...Disruption is expected until 11:00."
This is the second day in a row trains have been disrupted in South West London due to a swan on the train tracks.
Reports of a swan between Hampton Wick and Kingston yesterday caused almost two hours' worth of delays for commuters.
One X user (formerly Twitter) asked if it is the same swan as yesterday. A spokesperson for SWR help replied they did not think so.
