According to NRES about an hour and a half ago, the Herne Hill line is
blocked 'due to a broken down train at West Dulwich'. However, I
overheard several people on the 227 bus (local knowledge...) talking
about 'trains on fire' and other similarly dramatic things. Anybody
know more?

I don't know what the fault was, but it was the 1712 Victoria to Orpington
that failed at West Dulwich. It wasn't moved until around 2000 - the
Southeastern website reports trains running normal route from 2020.
