- Disruption between Brighton and Lewes expected until 11:15
A trespass incident between Brighton and Lewes means all lines are currently disrupted.
Trains running between these stations may be cancelled, revised or delayed by up to 15 minutes.
Disruption is expected until 11:15.
Customer Advice
If you are travelling between Brighton and Lewes, your journey may take up to 15 minutes longer than usual.
Please check journey planners and station information boards before you travel, and allow extra time to reach your destination.
Live departure boards can be found here and you can check the live map here to see if your journey has been affected.
You can also use the Southern app to find up-to-date travel information.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
A trespass incident has been reported in the Falmer area.
In this case, Southern have needed to stop trains entirely, as it's not safe to run services past the person. Emergency services and Network Rail responders are attending to make sure the person is removed.
Trespassing on the railway is very dangerous. Trains run all day, every day - whether passenger trains, freight trains or specialist engineering work machines. It's not possible to be sure that you can hear when a train is coming, and in many cases, you won't see a train until it is very close to you.
In many areas, trains are powered by an electric third rail, which carries a dangerous electric current. There are also other electrical systems and cables, slippery surfaces, steep drops and other hazards.As well as the dangers, trespassing on the railway is also illegal, and obstructing the railway can carry severe penalties.

Can you tell me more?
Points are moveable sections of track which can send trains onto different routes at junctions. These are part of the signalling system, generally managed by Network Rail.
Points can stop moving correctly for a number of reasons. For example, there may be an obstruction in the moving parts, or the electronic control systems may have developed a fault.
Network Rail have sent their specialist Signalling and Telecoms teams to site, and they will set up a safe method of working on the track. To allow staff to access the railway, sometimes we have to stop trains completely, which can lead to your train being held at stations or signals en route.
As soon as it's safe to go on the line, the staff will diagnose the fault and find any quick solutions to resolve it.
Whilst this is being done, we will be monitoring progress closely. At times, replacement parts may be needed, or specialist advice from suppliers, which is why some points failures take longer to resolve than others.

- Delays to / from London Victoria expected until 18:00
A fault with the signalling system at London Victoria means some lines are blocked. As a result, trains may be delayed by up to 15 minutes. This is expected until 18:00.
Customer Advice:
You can still use your normal route to travel, but trains leaving London Victoria may be delayed by up to 15 minutes. If you are travelling from this station, please allow an extra 15 minutes to complete your journey.
Additional peak-time services between London Victoria and Sutton, via Norbury, have been withdrawn.
You can use your ticket on alternative Southern services towards your destination.
Planning your journey:
Live departure boards can be found here.
You can view a live map of the network here, and you can also see an alternative route guide here.
Can you tell me more about this incident?
It has been identified that this fault is a result of a track circuit failure at London Victoria. In this case, Network Rail engineers need to have access to some of the lines in order to review and rectify the fault. As a result, some lines at London Victoria will be blocked and fewer trains are able to run.
What are track circuit failures?
These are electrical systems which monitor whether a train is on a section of track. They operate as part of the signalling system, which is designed to be "fail safe".
When a track circuit fails, the signalling system will interpret this as a train remaining in place, even though there may not be a train present at all, or the previous service may have long since left the area.
As a result, further trains cannot be automatically allowed onto the relevant section of track. Train drivers will be stopped by red signals on approach. They will then get verbal permission from the signaller so that they can proceed, and will run at a heavily-reduced speed as far as the next signal. This is so that the drivers will stop safely if they see anything ahead of them.
In some areas, the sections between signals can be several miles long, so this can result in delays building up. Even with shorter sections of track affected, there would still be a delay of at least a few minutes to each journey.
Track circuit faults can be caused by a number of different issues, including electronic faults or obstructions on the track. Network Rail manage the signalling system, including track circuits, and their staff will be investigating as quickly as possible.
