At London Road now waiting to go out to Falmer and the 10.14 is yet to arrive. Hopefully they will run okay Brighton to Lewes but may be badly disrupted on Eastbourne - Lewes.

People have to get from A to B somehow, meaning the roads will likely be more congested.

Looking at live train times the 11.01 at Newhaven to Brighton is cancelled. Same train?

Some days my £250 coach ticket sounds so cheap.
Then other days I wonder if I was under the influence when I paid that much!

The 11.33 from Newhaven has just left 2 minutes late, but no signs of any other cancellations on the Seaford line at present.

is the Eastbourne service still shut? SASTA seem to have forgotten about this with the issue on London main line.

National rail live services suggests only one an hour. Not looking too good at the moment.

Signs at Falmer station saying everything cancelled both ways at the moment. Current time 12:37.

No insider knowledge but it looks like the train involved has just been moved. I don't know the exact circumstances but assuming the track is intact and everything has been cleared then trains should be running soon but of course trains and crew are all over the place so there will be major disruption for a few hours yet I would think.

It was the Lewes to Falmer trains that were cancelled first, then the signs said the other way too.
