RAIL ALERT: Delays as '˜metal bin' blocks tracks

Two platforms are currently out of use at a railway station due to a '˜metal bin' on the line.

Southern Rail said lines had been blocked between platforms two and three at Haywards Heath station.

Trains are being forced to run at a reduced speed due to the obstruction and services travelling through the area have been delayed by up to 15 minutes.

The disruption is set to last until 2pm.
