Disruptions across the rail network
Engineering work is an essential part of maintaining and upgrading the British rail network so please check before you travel.
Search your travel dates below to see any scheduled route disruptions. For information on strike days, please visit our dedicated strike page.
Disruption impact
Major disruption
Minor disruption
- Grand Central Trains
- All Operators
- No trains between Coryton and Cardiff Central until the end of the day
Trains can now run as scheduled following an earlier fault with the signalling system at Heath Low Level.
- Lines reopened between Grays and Pitsea
Trains can now run as scheduled between Grays and Pitsea following the police dealing with an incident.
- No trains between Seaford and Lewes until approximately 06:00
A fault with the signalling system between Seaford and Lewes means that all lines are blocked. As a result, trains are unable to run between these stations and will be cancelled.
Disruption is expected until 06:00.
Customer advice:
Early-morning Southern services are unable to run between Seaford and Lewes due to a signalling problem. This affects trains in both directions on this route.
Trains which usually run on this route will either be cancelled, or revised to only run between Lewes and Brighton.
This means there will be no trains serving Seaford, Bishopstone, Newhaven Harbour, Newhaven Town or Southease, and you will need to use an alternative option to complete your journey.
This is likely to take around 20-30 minutes longer than usual.
Alternative journey options:
For journeys between Seaford, Bishopstone, the Newhaven area and Brighton, you can use your ticket at no extra cost on Brighton & Hove Buses on the following routes:
- 12 / 12A / 12X between Seaford, Newhaven and Brighton
- 14 between Newhaven and Brighton
Please be aware that these buses do not serve stations between Newhaven Town and Brighton. If you are travelling between Seaford, Bishopstone or Newhaven and Lewes, please take a bus to Brighton and change there for alternative train services.
If you are travelling to or from Southease, please use station Help Points for further advice, or speak to staff if you are travelling from Lewes. Alternative road transport will be arranged, but Southern do not have an exact estimate for when this will arrive.
If you are travelling between stations on the Seaford route and Haywards Heath, Gatwick Airport or stations in the London area, you can use your ticket to travel via Brighton, including alternative Thameslink or Gatwick Express services.
Planning your journey:
You can view live departure boards and a live map of the network.
You can see an alternative route guide here.
You can also use the Southern app to find up-to-date information.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
A fault with the signalling system is preventing any trains from running over the junction near Newhaven Harbour station, and this fault results in a closure of the Seaford route for Southern trains.
Network Rail staff are on site and investigating as quickly as possible, and Southern are closely monitoring progress.

An object being caught on the overhead wires between Stafford and Lichfield Trent Valley means that some lines are blocked. As a result, trains running between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes, revised or diverted via Stoke-on-Trent.
Disruption is expected until 11:30.

- Buses replace trains between Corkickle and Whitehaven until further notice
During pre-planned engineering work at Bransty Tunnel, between Corkickle and Whitehaven, inspections revealed unstable ground conditions which require urgent repair. As a result, the line through the tunnel is closed. Buses are replacing trains between Corkickle and Whitehaven with disruption expected until further notice.
Customer advice:
Service impact
Train services are running between Lancaster / Barrow-in-Furness and Corkickle, and also between Whitehaven and Carlisle.
Buses will replace trains between Corkickle and Whitehaven.
Please speak to station staff, see online journey planners or consult customer information screens for departure times of these buses. Journey times may be extended by up to 60 minutes whilst travelling by road transport.
Ticket acceptance
If the train you have a ticket for is cancelled, you can travel on any Northern or TransPennine Express service within two hours before or after your cancelled service was due to depart. This is at no extra cost, and does not require you to amend your ticket.
Additional information:
At the end of July, Network Rail carried out assessments and surveys inside Bransty Tunnel ahead of planned full track and drainage renewal that was scheduled to take place during August and September. This involved doing surveys to assess any weight limits for the heavy machinery needed for the planned renewals. These surveys uncovered some areas under the railway which need strengthening before any work can progress. After assessing the initial survey data by specialist expert engineers, Network Rail has closed Bransty Tunnel to all trains until further notice. The exact time frame for how long these repairs and subsequent track improvements will take is still being worked on.
