A fault with the signalling system between Seaford and Lewes means that trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Lewes.
󱒃
Period:Saturday, April 4 to Saturday, April 4
Operators:Southern
Related Information:A fault with the signalling system between Seaford and Lewes means that trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Lewes. As a result, trains running between Seaford and Brighton may be delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised to run non-stop between Lewes and Brighton. Disruption is expected until the end of the day. Customer advice: Southern services running from Seaford towards Lewes may be subject to delays of up to 15 minutes. You can travel using your normal route, but you should check journey planners before you travel. Services may also be delayed when running from Lewes towards Seaford, or revised to run non-stop between Lewes and Brighton. Planning your journey: You can see live departure boards, although an exact estimate of the delays may only be available after each train has travelled through the affected area. You can also view a live map of the network. You can find up-to-date information on the Southern app, and station screens. Can you tell me more about the incident? This part of the network uses track circuits, which are electrical systems used to detect trains. If a track circuit fails, the signalling system may think a train is still there, blocking others from moving forward. Drivers must stop at red signals and get verbal permission to proceed at a reduced speed, which can cause significant delays, especially in areas with long track sections. Network Rail staff are investigating an ongoing electrical fault in this area. Check before you travel: You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner. Compensation: You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
