Can you tell me more about the incident?

Floodwater can wash away the stones that support the track, damage the third rail that powers trains, and affect signalling systems.

Southern are working with Network Rail to manage the impact, using pumps and flood barriers where needed. Control teams are monitoring conditions and sending staff to affected areas as quickly as possible.
