This is expected until 15:00.
Customer Advice:
Services are currently unable to run between Uckfield and Crowborough. You should consider starting your journey from Crowborough if possible, or you will need to use an alternative route.
Your tickets are being accepted on Brighton & Hove buses between Lewes (for Southern), Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells (for Southeastern). You can also use both Southern and Thameslink services from Lewes/Haywards Heath as well as Southeastern services from Tunbridge Wells. However, it is worth noting that Southeastern, Thameslink and Southern services are much busier than normal as a reduced service is in operation due to the industrial action yesterday.
