Can you tell me more about the incident?
In the Crawley area, operators were advised of a problem with the barriers at a level crossing. This will cause delays to your journey in this area.
Although there's a fault, operators can still run your train, but it will take longer to get to your destination.
Trains will need to stop on the approach to the crossing, and drivers will then get verbal instructions to continue. They will travel at slower speeds so that they can see anything which may be obstructing them.
Operators are working closely with Network Rail to ensure the barriers are fixed and trains can return to their normal speeds as soon as possible.
Check before you travel:
You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.
Compensation:
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
