A MAJOR incident near a busy railway station has sparked travel chaos with a huge emergency response spotted descending on the area.
Police, paramedics, fire crews and an air ambulance have all been seen responding to the incident near the railway between Clapham Junction and Woking.
The nature of the incident, which is understood to have happened at Wimbledon station, remains unclear with rail services heavily disrupted.
Emergency crews are working to deal with the chaotic situation.
Around 10 ambulances, 10 police cars, five fire engines and an air ambulance have been spotted at the scene.
All power to the track have been switched off to allow emergency services access to the railway.
Passengers have taken to social media to rail against the delays, with some saying they have been stuck on gridlocked trains for hours.

National Rail has said: “Emergency services are dealing with an incident, stopping Thameslink from running trains on the line between Streatham and Sutton, via Wimbledon.
“All of the St Albans City to Sutton services will route via Mitcham Junction to Sutton, where they will terminate and start back from.”
