PASSENGERS heading from Brighton to London have been told to travel now as extreme weather could shut the rail track.

Sussex Police and Brighton and Hove Albion told football fans extreme weather conditions mean the Brighton to London line is likely to be severely delayed or closed soon.

The Argus:

Those wishing to travel to London are advised to go to the station as soon as possible.

Southern said services are so far running on time.

A GTR spokeswoman said: “This was never the case – we ran a full service on Saturday evening, ensuring the thousands of fans that travelled to the Brighton vs Sheffield game were able to get home.”
