At 4.56pm the spokesperson said, “All trains are being squeezed onto two tracks (out of four) to keep them moving - but there are major delays as a result.”

Southern Rail added, “You’ll need to allow plenty of extra time to complete your journey.

“Your train may be cancelled or delayed so you’ll need to plan ahead.”

According to Southern Rail, engineers are working to fix ‘a number’ of signalling faults.

A spokesperson from Southern said the incident is leading to cancellations across their network.
