Train lines reopen after emergency track repairs

Lines have reopened after emergency track repairs between Brighton and Haywards Heath which caused delays and cancellations.

National Rail said trains were able to run normally again from 11:00 GMT on Thursday after the line shut to allow engineers to carry out track repairs.

Routes affected included the Gatwick Express from London Victoria, as well as certain Thameslink and Southern lines.

Passengers were able to use their tickets on Metrobus services and alternative Thameslink and Southern services during the disruption.
