Passengers travelling from East Croydon station face delays of up to 15 minutes.
Electrical supply problems have caused platforms five and six to close until further notice.
Train services are currently being directed to other platforms.
A spokesman for Southern Rail said the problem is affecting services in both directions and customers should expect platform changes.
