We might need a combined thread the rate landslips are occurring.
FROM NETWORK RAIL VIA SOUTHERN WEBSITE
A landslip between Haywards Heath and Brighton means that some lines are closed. Trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer advice: A reported landslip in the Hassocks - Burgess Hill area has been confirmed by Network Rail colleagues.
A landslip in the Hassocks area is blocking one of the available lines between Brighton and Gatwick Airport.
Network Rail engineers are on site and working to assess what is needed to safely clear the landslip. Current reports estimate this to last until the end of the day, with work continuing to take place overnight. Once this is done, they will assess the tracks for any damage that might need repairs before they can allow trains to safely run through the area again.
Teams are working with Network Rail to ensure this is done as quickly and safely as possible. This message will be kept updated with further details.
Landslips can happen for a number of reasons, including severe weather. Areas at risk of landslips are monitored proactively to make sure the track is safe, and staff also receive reports from train crews of any risks to the railway.
