Trains in part of West Sussex are also facing delays due to a safety inspection.

Southern Rail said an inspection of the track is taking place in the Horley area.

"To allow this to be done safely, trains must run at reduced speed on some lines towards London,” a Southern Rail spokesperson said.

“As a result, trains running between Gatwick Airport and Redhill may be delayed by up to 10 minutes.

“This issue is expected to continue to impact services until 10am.”
