Commuters faced delays after a man was hit by a train and killed at South Croydon station.
British Transport Police are not treating the incident, which happened around 15.47, as suspicious, and believe it was a deliberate act.
All trains through East Croydon were suspended and those using the overground line were forced to seek alternative routes.
Theliamdelusion said on Twitter: “Whoever has committed suicide at South Croydon I’ve no sympathy, you’ve prevented me and millions of others from London Bridge to get home.”
But John Crispen, 45, of St Albans, believes some commuters have their priorities wrong.
He said: “It’s such a shame that a man has died and people are more concerned whether or not they will get home.
“Of course I will be delayed getting home to my family but at least I will return. Some people aren’t so lucky.”
The man was hit by the 15.24 train travelling from Caterham to London Victoria.
The line has now been cleared and the man’s body has been removed from the site.
A Southern Railway spokesman said at the time: “Short notice alterations to services, cancellations and delays of up to 60 minutes may occur.”
