An obstruction on the track between Upper Warlingham and Oxted means the line towards Uckfield and East Grinstead is blocked. As a result, trains may be cancelled or delayed.

Disruption is expected until 13:45.

Customer Advice:

No trains are able to run on the line between East Croydon and Oxted until further notice. Trains that are on the line already will be held until the obstruction has been moved.
