Trains were unable to run for several hours due to the investigation work but started again at around 11.40pm.

Fire crews had left the scene by 6am and handed over the site to gas company SGN.

SGN confirmed the road had to be closed overnight while emergency repairs were carried out.

This morning, Kent Highways is assisting the company to help manage traffic.
