“An incident occurred last night in which an empty train, in the sidings at Ramsgate depot, derailed at low speed,” the spokesperson said.
“Services are running normally through the area this morning, at a reduced speed.
“There was some disruption to our services, and if any of customers were delayed then they can claim delay repay.”
Rail operator Southeastern said on X at 19:25 GMT on Thursday that trains were unable to run between Ramsgate and Minster due to a safety inspection of the tracks.
