Network Rail said the fault, reported at 08:53 BST and fixed by 11:00, hit South Western Railway, Southern, Gatwick Express, Thameslink, CrossCountry and London Overground.
National Rail warned delays of up to 90 minutes and cancellations could continue until the end of Thursday, though London Overground and Great Western Railway later said their services were back to normal.
Routes via London Victoria, Brighton, Horsham, Three Bridges and West Coastway were badly affected, with operators accepting tickets on Friday or on alternative rail, bus and Underground services.
