A fallen tree has forced a village railway station to close after power was cut off.
Southeastern says the station at Hollingbourne has shut after the incident blocked the station approach road.
It has also caused a power cut.
Trains are running through the station but are not stopping at Hollingbourne.
Minor delays are expected on services running along the Ashford to Maidstone line.
Southeastern tweeted at about 2pm to say the station remained shut while it waited for a power supply company to repair some damaged cables.
A minibus was doing shuttle runs to Maidstone East station for any passengers who could not make their own way to alternative stations.
