Eastbourne passengers travelling to or from London via East Croydon should check their trains tonight after a power-supply failure disrupted the railway.
Southern’s notice, updated at 21:26 GMT on Saturday 31 October, says the power problem has been resolved and all lines have reopened. Trains may still be cancelled, altered or delayed by up to 30 minutes while the service recovers.
The operator expects disruption until the end of the day. Allow extra time and check your individual train on station screens or the Southern service-updates page before travelling. Reopened lines do not mean every train is running to its normal timetable.
