A FAULT on a train at Gatwick Airport is causing disruption to journeys. 

Southern Rail is warning passengers they are facing delays this morning as workers deal with the fault. 

A spokesman said: "A train has developed a fault, and is currently occupying one of the platforms, services behind it will divert around it.

"This may cause some small delays due to reduced platforms available.

"You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. 

"Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim."

Disruption is expected until 8.30am.
