Southern Rail: Signalling fault between Gatwick and Three Bridges causes major disruption across Sussex

A fault with the signalling system between Gatwick Airport and Three Bridges means some lines are disrupted with Southern Rail reporting that rains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 10 minutes.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Southern and Thameslink services will be delayed heading south from Gatwick Airport.

A Southern Rail spokesperson said: “Thameslink services from Bedford to Three Bridges will terminate and restart at Gatwick Airport instead of Three Bridges. If you require Three Bridges, you will need to change services at Gatwick Airport and catch an alternative Southern or Thameslink train.

“You can continue to travel using your usual route, but you will need to allow up to 10 minutes to complete your journey, especially if you need to change for services towards Three Bridges.

"Delays of around 10 to 20 minutes are possible in the Three Bridges area, affecting southbound trains from Gatwick Airport towards Horsham, Haywards Heath, Brighton and the coast.

“Short notice alterations are possible as a result.

“Services heading north from Three Bridges are currently unaffected.”
