Southern Railway has issued advice to passengers
hoping to travel in the area today.
Trains are unable to run between Lewes and Haywards Heath,
so those travelling to or from Cooksbridge, Plumpton, Hastings or Ore have been told their journey is likely to take longer than usual.
Rail replacement buses are running between Haywards Heath
and Lewes, calling at Cooksbridge and Plumpton, and those travelling in the
area are being told to allow at least an extra 60 minutes of journey time
for their trip.
People travelling towards Eastbourne or Hastings today will
also need to change trains at Brighton, with extra carriages being added on
services between Brighton and Hastings, and Brighton and Seaford.
Tickets will be accepted at no extra cost on Southern
services between Brighton and London Victoria, Thameslink services between
Brighton and London Bridge, Gatwick Express services between Brighton and London
Victoria, on the London Underground between London terminals, and on
Southeastern services between Hastings and London terminals.
Rail tickets will also be accepted on Brighton and Hove
Buses’ 28, 29, 29B, and 29X routes, which run between Brighton and Eastbourne,
and Brighton and Tunbridge Wells in Kent.
