The company said the problem is due to a shortage of signalling staff at Littlehampton signal box. People travelling to or from Littlehampton this morning will need to use an alternative route.

Apologising for the disruption, Southern added: “To help keep you on the move, your tickets will be accepted on the following at no extra cost: Brighton & Hove buses between Brighton, Hove, Preston Park and Shoreham. Stagecoach route 700 across the entire route.”

Southern has also requested replacement buses to run between Littlehampton and Barnham/Bognor Regis and will update people on Twitter when these have been confirmed.
