Customer advice:

A person has been hit by a train between Horsham and Arundel. This means no trains are able to run through this area until further notice.

Trains that normally from Horsham to Bognor Regis/Barnham will divert via Hove. If you require stations between Horsham and Barnham you can use replacement buses from Horsham.

This may take at least 60 minutes longer than usual so please allow extra time.

For the latest information, please check station boards or the online journey planners.

If you're waiting on a train which is delayed between stations:

If your train is delayed between stations, please remain where you are and listen to announcements, or speak to staff for further information. You will be on the move as soon as possible. Everything is being done to help you continue your journey.

Please don't leave the train unless you are asked to do so. Other trains may still be moving in the area, and the track is also a very hazardous environment. In areas where the trains are powered by an electric third rail, this usually stays live and dangerous during incidents, and looks the same as other rails.

Replacement buses are en route:

Rail replacement buses have been sourced, so you may be able to use these to get to your destination.

These buses are expected to arrive at Horsham at 00:00.

They are then due to run between Horsham and Barnham.
