Rail line reopens after Greggs lorry crashes into Sussex track cutting gas and phone lines

A railway line has reopened after a Greggs lorry crashed through a fence, closing all lines between Barnham and Bognor Regis.

The lorry was in a precarious position on its side and on top of signalling equipment.

Emergency services had been dealing with the incident on Longford Road, Bognor Regis.

There was a suspected gas leak and phone lines were cut.

As a result of the incident, trains were cancelled or revised with disruption expected until the afternoon on Sunday.Emergency services and specialist engineers were site, working on a plan to get the lorry removed safely as soon as possible.

The lorry has since been made upright and removed, meaning services have resumed between Bognor Regis and Barnham.

It is not known how or why the lorry overturned, but an investigation is underway.
