A Southern Rail spokesperson said: “You are advised to not travel at this time unless it is essential. If you do travel, you should allow at least 90 minutes extra to complete your journey.

"Services to and from Barnham and Bognor Regis are severely disrupted due to ongoing signalling faults. Barnham to Bognor Regis shuttle services are suspended.

“No Southern services are able to run to or from Southampton Central. Brighton to Southampton services will instead divert into Portsmouth Harbour, or will not run beyond Bognor Regis.

"Services to and from London Victoria, Hastings and Ore will not stop at Plumpton or Cooksbridge in both directions.

“There are a number of speed restrictions at Glynde and Seaford, which means services will experience delays or cancellation.

"A reduced service is operating on the Uckfield line due to a unit fault. Please consider travelling later if you can, as alternatives are limited.

“Thameslink services in the London and Kent areas are delayed and facing cancellation due to earlier signalling faults. There was also a train fault at West Hampstead which has caused some traffic in the area. Please wait for the next available train.”
