Can you tell me more about the incident?

A tree has fallen and is blocking both lines just outside of East Grinstead station. Until the tree is removed, trains are unable to run beyond Hurst Green from London.

Network Rail is on site and will need at least 30 minutes to remove the tree with the lines blocked. Once this has been done, we'll provide further details.
