West Sussex rail shutdown as emergency incident halts trains between Horsham and Three Bridges

Rail services between Three Bridges railway station and Horsham railway station have been suspended after emergency services were called to an incident on the line.

All routes through the affected section have been closed to allow crews to work safely, resulting in widespread cancellations for trains scheduled to run through both stations. Disruption is expected to continue until at least 18:00.

No trains are currently operating between Horsham and Three Bridges, leaving passengers needing to find alternative ways to complete their journeys. Travel times are expected to increase, with delays of up to 45 minutes likely for those affected.

Passengers are being advised that tickets will be accepted on alternative services at no extra cost. This includes routes operated by Southern and Thameslink on any reasonable diversion.

Alternative options include travelling via Gatwick or Three Bridges, as well as using Southern services to reach Horsham through Sutton or Dorking.
