London Overground services suspended after fire at South Bermondsey recycling facility

Some London Overground trains remain suspended after a fire involving 50 tonnes of household waste "severely damaged" a recycling facility in south-east London.

Fifteen fire engines were called to Landmann Way in South Bermondsey shortly before 20:00 BST on Tuesday, according to London Fire Brigade (LFB), which said the fire was brought under control six hours later.

No services are running on the Windrush line from Surrey Quays to New Cross and Clapham Junction "due to an unsafe structure next to the railway". Trains from Highbury and Islington to West Croydon are severely delayed.

The LFB said the cause of the fire was not yet known. Firefighters tackled a blaze at the same facility in June.

Speaking from the scene, station commander Duncan Rees said: "Crews worked hard in difficult conditions to bring the fire under control."

He added that ladders were used to tackle the flames from above.
