Can you tell me more about the incident?

A trespass incident has been reported between Redhill and Gatwick.

As soon as trespassing is known about, the speed of trains in the area is reduced, as it's not safe to run services at their usual speeds when someone is on the track. Sometimes, we need to stop trains entirely. Emergency services and Network Rail responders will be attending to make sure the person is removed.

Trespassing on the railway is very dangerous. Trains run all day, every day - whether passenger trains, freight trains or specialist engineering work machines. It's not possible to be sure that you can hear when a train is coming, and in many cases, you won't see a train until it is very close to you.

In many areas, trains are powered by an electric third rail, which carries a dangerous electric current. There are also other electrical systems and cables, slippery surfaces, steep drops and other hazards.

As well as the dangers, trespassing on the railway is also illegal, and obstructing the railway can carry severe penalties.
