Landslip On Railway Line From Lewes To Brighton Causing Severe Disruption

A landslip on the line towards Brighton from Lewes means trains are currently unable to run in that direction.

Southern railway is advising passengers that disruptions will continue until 5pm today.

The following stations will not be served in the direction towards Brighton:

  • London Road (Brighton)
  • Moulsecoomb
  • Falmer

Trains are, however, able to run from Brighton towards Lewes calling at all stations, although they are running at reduced speeds on this line so journey times will be extended. A heavily reduced service will operate in this direction.

Services that usually run from Hastings / Lewes towards Brighton will be via Wivelsfield adding extra time to journeys.

It's advised passengers their journeys could take an extra 40 minutes.

Trains that usually run between Brighton and Seaford will start / terminate and Lewes. There will be a reduced service on this route, so if there are cancellations, then it's recommended you travel via an alternative route this afternoon.

To assist with onward travel, you can use your ticket at no extra cost on the following:

  • Brighton & Hove Buses via Brighton / Lewes / Eastbourne / Seaford
  • Thameslink services between Wivelsfield and Brighton
