Train services resume on Sussex line after train hits 'obstruction' at Burgess Hill

Some train services had to be suspended on Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express this morning (4 May), after a train hit an 'obstruction' on the line at Burgess Hill in Sussex.

Services were affected suspended southbound between Haywards Heath and Brighton, and Southern between Haywards Heath and Hove.

The line has since reopened and trains can run through the area 'as normal'. However Southern says journeys may still take longer than normal, and so for passengers to allow for extra travel time.
