A TRESPASSER on the train tracks is causing railway delays.

Trains will be subject to delays due to a trespasser on the line between Horsham and Arundel.

Southern Rail said all services in the area will be delayed until the incident is resolved.

A Southern Rail spokesman said: “We've been made aware of trespassers on the line between Horsham and Arundel.

“Services through the area will be subject to delay.

"The trespasser has now been detained by the emergency services and trains are able to move through the area. Delays of up to 15 minutes are still likely."
