Can you tell me more about the incident?
Around 12:45, staff were advised of a problem with the barriers at a level crossing near Polegate station.
Although there's a fault, trains can still run, but it will take longer to get to your destination.
Trains will need to stop on the approach to the crossing, and drivers will then get verbal instructions to continue. They will travel at slower speeds so that they can see anything which may be obstructing them.
Southern are working closely with Network Rail to ensure the barriers are fixed and trains can return to their normal speeds as soon as possible.
