Can you tell me more about the incident?
A landslip was reported in the Ockley area on Friday evening, and a temporary arrangement was put in place for this weekend to allow some trains to run through the area, as this route is being used as a diversion for other engineering work taking place elsewhere on our network.
To allow for permanent repair work to commence, specialist Network Rail teams and equipment will need access to the track and surrounding embankment – meaning that all lines through this route will be blocked until this work is complete.
A full line closure is expected from today, Monday 26 until at least Friday 30 January, between Horsham and Dorking (Main). There is a possibility that this timescale will be extended, but we will keep you updated throughout the week with progress.
Landslips can happen for a number of reasons, including severe weather. Areas at risk of landslips are monitored proactively to ensure that the track is safe, and Southern also receive reports from train crews of any risks to the railway.
