Southern, which runs the services, said on its Twitter account: “Earlier this morning, very heavy rainfall has affected a number of our routes to the south of Haywards Heath. Flooding has now resulted from this, causing a number of issues for the railway.

“Heavy rain flooding the railway is causing disruption to services between Haywards Heath and Lewes this morning.

“The line from Lewes towards Haywards Heath is currently blocked. These services will instead run via Brighton.

It said trains heading up to London will not stop at Plumpton and Cooksbridge.
