Train services between Kent, East Sussex and London were returning to normal on Saturday afternoon, following a morning of disruption due to a power failure.
Southeastern said at 07:22 GMT there was a "failure of the electricity supply" at Tonbridge station.
Due to the power failure, trains travelling towards London from Hastings were unable to stop at the station and services from Ashford to London needed to use an alternative platform to the normal one.
Services in both directions through the station were affected.
Southeastern said just before midday that Network Rail had completed repairs and trains could now begin to serve Tonbridge as per the usual timetable.
During the disruption, rail replacement buses operated between Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.
Passengers who were delayed by more than 15 minutes reaching their final destination, can claim back some compensation via the delay repay scheme.
Southern services between Tonbridge and Redhill were unaffected by the issues.
