Urgent repairs to the track between Redhill and and Tonbridge mean that trains are unable to run between these stations.
Customer Advice:
There will be no services running between Reigate / Redhill and Tonbridge.
This is due to reports of a section of ballast under the track needing inspection, this is a safety consideration, and why the service is suspended at this time.

Can you tell me more about the incident?
When landslips happen, unfortunately so do delays. A train is unable swerve to avoid debris on the line in the same way a car can, so when there is debris on the tracks after a landslip, we will often need to re-route or alter services where possible.
Before trains can run on the line again after a landslip, any debris will be removed and checks will be carried out to ensure that the infrastructure is safe.
