Despite Network Rail’s continued efforts to pump the water out there was yesterday (Sunday) around 50,000 litres of water in the tunnel with a risk of damage to the safety equipment and infrastructure which needs to be checked.
In light of this, Network Rail have informed us that we will be unable to run any trains between Farringdon and London St Pancras International until at least the end of service on Monday 26 January. We have a reduced service elsewhere on Thameslink. Both Network Rail and Thames Water are currently working hard to fix the problem.

We are moving approximately 28,000 litres of water an hour and there are an estimated 250,000 litres to move. #FarringdonTrains

How about displaying the running trains on the boards rather than those that've been cancelled?? @TLRailUK #FarringdonTrains

Normally I would be 30 minutes from work. Instead I've waited 30 minutes for a bus to get me to the tube #FarringdonTrains

#FarringdonTrains Surely this is not going to take all day to fix?
With all the disruption were going through with London Bridge closed

@TLRailUK :Do we pay for London buses& claim it back? How? Two bus drivers refused our Thameslink tickets at St Pancras. #FarringdonTrains
