- Buses replace trains between Hazel Grove and Buxton
Trains are now running normally following a broken down train between Hazel Grove and Buxton.
- Disruption between Ore and Eastbourne expected until 12:00
A fault with the signalling system between Ore and Eastbourne means trains running between these stations may be delayed or revised.
Disruption is expected until 12:00.
Customer advice:
There will be a reduced service between Brighton and Ore. Some trains which usually run between Brighton and Ore will only run between Brighton and Eastbourne. While you can travel on your normal route, you may need to travel on a different train to normal, or change trains at an intermediate station, such as Eastbourne, to complete your journey.
Trains running through this area may be subject to delays. Additionally, some services that run through this area, such as trains that run between Ore and London Victoria, may also be subject to ad-hoc alterations. You should listen to announcements and check station screens while travelling for the latest information.
Please check your train before you travel and allow 30 minutes additional time to complete your journey.
Your ticket will be accepted at no extra cost on alternative Southern services towards your destination.

You can also use the Southern app to find up-to-date information.
Can you tell me more?
This part of the network uses track circuits to detect trains. If a circuit fails, the system may think a train is still there, blocking others from moving forward.
Drivers must stop at red signals and get verbal permission to proceed at a reduced speed, which can cause significant delays, especially in areas with long track sections.
Faults can be caused by electronic issues or track obstructions. Network Rail is investigating, and weâll share updates as soon as we have them.
