West Sussex Railway Line Closed for Crucial Crossing Repairs

On Sunday, a railway line in West Sussex will be closed all day to allow for crucial level crossing resurfacing works. Buses will replace trains between Three Bridges and Horsham, meaning neither Southern nor Thameslink services will run throughout the day.

Elsewhere, work continues on the Redhill to Tonbridge line ahead of its reopening on Tuesday following a 10-day closure. Network Rail is currently renewing 13 miles of high-voltage power cables between Nutfield in Surrey and Leigh in Kent, including laying new rail and installing a new steel pile wall to strengthen the railway embankment near Edenbridge.

The work is being undertaken in response to disruption caused by landslips in recent years. Buses will replace trains between Redhill and Tonbridge until 5 AM on Tuesday morning when the line is set to reopen.
