Trains are unable to run between Lewes and Haywards Heath and will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until at least the end of the day Wednesday 26 August. Customer advice: The railway between Haywards Heath and Lewes will remain closed until at least Wednesday 26 August, and the closure is likely to continue beyond this date while the major train recovery operation continues following the derailment on Thursday 13 August. Southern know this will be frustrating and disruptive, particularly for customers who rely on this route for work and other important journeys. They are very sorry for the continued impact and uncertainty, and will keep providing clear updates as the recovery progresses. Today's travel advice: Rail replacement buses are running between Haywards Heath and Lewes, calling at: Cooksbridge; Plumpton. Extra carriages have also been added to services between Brighton and Eastbourne, providing more space on board for customers travelling along the route. There are no direct trains from London to Eastbourne or Hastings. If you're travelling from London, you'll need to change your journey: For Eastbourne, travel via Brighton and change there for an onward train; For Plumpton, Cooksbridge or Lewes, use the rail replacement bus from Haywards Heath; For Hastings, travel via Brighton to Eastbourne, then continue your journey from there. Please note that following a landslip between Polegate and Eastbourne, a speed restriction will be in place between these stations. This means journeys will take longer than normal, as trains have to run at a reduced speed. Please allow at least 60 minutes of additional journey time and check your journey before setting off, as journeys will take longer than usual. Looking ahead, from Tuesday 18 August: Rail replacement buses will continue to run between Haywards Heath and Lewes, calling at Plumpton and Cooksbridge. There will be no direct trains from London to Eastbourne or Hastings. If you're travelling towards Eastbourne or beyond, you should travel via Brighton and change there for alternative rail services.

For Hastings, Ore or Ashford International, change again at Eastbourne for your onward service; Services between Brighton and Seaford will run as normal; Services between Eastbourne and Ashford International will also run as normal. Journey planners for Tuesday 18 August will be updated overnight, with following days updated at least one day in advance. Please check your journey again before travelling and allow extra time. Can I use my ticket with another operator? You can travel on the following services at no additional cost: Rail: Southern between Brighton and London Victoria; Gatwick Express between Brighton and London Victoria; Thameslink services between Brighton and London Bridge; London Underground between all London terminals; Southeastern services between Hastings and London Terminals.

This is a complex operation and specialist equipment will be needed to remove the carriages safely. Once the train has been removed, engineers will be able to fully assess the damage and begin the repairs needed before trains can safely run again.
