You mean the nonsense that happens to pretty much most railways ? Mainline services have now resumed but only using a single line past the derailed train, delays to last all evening. Line via Arundel is now also shut, due to a fire.

Yes, absolutely.

Running between Brighton and Three Bridges/Haywards Heath. Major disruption/service suspension will last the rest of the day, maybe even into tomorrow. Polegate level crossing has also just failed, adding to the total sh*tfest on the railway on the East Coast line.

Never know, they do happen, as do SPADs. The driver could be in massive trouble if it is !! Trains have also been screwed most of the day between Eastbourne and Hastings due to issues with new signalling equipment at various locations.

Services on the West and East Coast lines are starting to be restored but with major delays until further notice. For travelling between London and Brighton, going via Lewes will be your best bet. Mainline suspended.

Currently, though it is expected to reopen soon as it isnt affected. Replacement buses are now available.

Normally thats around 35 degrees air temperature, metal temperature is always much, much hotter than that. I highly doubt thats the cause though, suspect a points failure. One of the reasons trains get stopped when signalling fails is to potentially stop things like this. Regardless, something...

Taken from Twitter, not a serious one as it probably happened at low speed, though it is blocking the London-bound line. As West and East Coast lines dont appear to be affected, they will probably be opened as soon as power can be restored. Mainline trains will have disruption for a while though.

Reportedly an empty train with no passengers on board. Could be caused by anything, points/signalling failure, track defect, object on the line. It will get investigated though, which will mean a lengthy blockage.

ALL services to and from Brighton are suspended and will be for some time. A train has derailed in the area of the station.
