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. We'll get you moving as soon as possible. We're aware of your location, and our teams will be doing everything they can 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.

Planning your journey:

For help planning your journey, check live departure boards, view a live network map or see alternative route guides.

If you’re travelling within London, you can use the TfL Journey Planner.

Can you tell me more about the incident?

Unfortunately, there has been report of a problem with the electrical supply to the trains in the Amberley area. This means that some Southern services can't move as normal until power is restored.

Work is being done with Network Rail and local electricity suppliers to make sure the power is restored. Until this is done, it is expected that there will be delays and changes to services in the area.

If you're on a train which is being held in the area, it may take longer to get to the next station, and onwards to your destination. Please listen out for information from the crew if you need further support with your journey.
