Disruption after lorry hits railway bridge
Network RailTrains have been disrupted after a vehicle collided with a bridge in Surrey.
Southern Railway said just before 10:00 BST on Wednesday a lorry carrying several skips hit the bridge on Racecourse Road between Lingfield and Dormansland.
It said the railway line between Oxted and East Grinstead was closed and that trains were at a standstill.
Just before 13:00 National Rail said lines would reopen "shortly" with disruption expected until 14:00.
Trains running between these stations may still be cancelled or delayed by up to 15 minutes, it detailed.
Network RailSouthern Railway said just before 13 that a crane was being used to remove the skips.
It previously said lines could only reopen once the vehicle was safely removed and the track and bridge inspected.
Trains will be running at an "extremely reduced speed" when the line reopens, Southern Railway added.
Engineers were on the scene, it said in an update published on X earlier Wednesday morning.
The railway operator had urged people on trains that were not at a station and not moving to stay onboard.
Those travelling on trains between London Victoria and East Grinstead may also need to use alternative routes, Southern Railway added.
