When checked at 01:18 BST on Tuesday 13 October 2026, Southern’s current service-updates page no longer listed the Haywards Heath–Lewes signalling-fault alert. An explicit clearance time for that separate incident has not been verified.

Southern’s Monday-evening notice had reported blocked lines on the Eastbourne–London route. The earlier 60-minute-extra-time and diversion advice is not current. Use the operator’s live information for your particular journey.

Separately, National Rail confirmed the Brighton–Lewes emergency disruption cleared at 00:47 BST. That does not establish when the signalling fault was resolved. Planned overnight engineering work remains listed.
