A rail replacement bus service will be implemented between Horsham and Barnham, however this will be an infrequent service, the spokesman said.

Services will be severely delayed towards Horsham, Barnham, Portsmouth Harbour and Southampton Central.

Customers should use alternative routes as services are severely delayed.

The spokesman added: “Southern are working with Network Rail and the emergency services to assist trains in the area as the power supply has had to be switched off.

“Southern are currently working on plans to ensure that they can continue running a train service.”
