All train lines via Eastbourne disrupted due to fault with Hampden Park signalling system

At 4.44pm today (Tuesday, September 5), a Southern spokesperson told customers about the issue on social media.

They said: “Services running through this station may be cancelled, delayed or revised.”

Two minutes later a post from the company explained that trains are being held at signals or at stations in the area of the fault.

They added: “This may also result in level crossing barriers remaining down for longer than usual.”

At 5.33pm Southern said the disruption caused by a fault with the signalling system at Hampden Park had ended.

The spokesperson added: “If your train was delayed by 15 minutes or more, please claim Delay Repay.”
