Read moreSignificant rail disruption due to the weather
Heavy rainfall is continuing to cause major disruption across the Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express rail network.
Disruption is expected to continue until the end of the day.
Two areas have been worst affected:
- Three Bridges to Brighton (flooding at Balcombe) -there is no direct service from London to Brighton, Lewes or Littlehampton.
- Warnham and Ockley cannot be served due to local flooding.
On Southeastern a landslip between Robertsbridge and Etchingham means trains are currently unable to run between these stations. Disruption is expected until 19:00.
There has also been a landslip between Strood and Maidstone West, blocking the lines there too. Disruption is expected for the rest of the day.
