The flooding has caused major disruption to railway lines through Sussex.

Southern Rail said all lines had reopened but Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express routes may be cancelled, delayed or revised – with the disruption expected to continue until the end of the day.

Trains are being reinstated between Gatwick Airport and Brighton, but passengers are warned that they may have to wait longer than normal for an available service with services being busier than normal.

A landslip on part of the route between Robertsbridge and Etchingham caused part of the railway line between Hastings and London to close – read more here.
