SOME trains are not able to run due to a "suspected track defect".

Trains are not running from Horsham to Barnham, while trains going the other direction are able to run at a reduced speed.

Network Rail engineers are at the site inspecting the track defect.

A Southern Rail spokesman said: "Services between Victoria and Bognor Regis/Portsmouth (via Horsham) are disrupted.

"We can't run between Horsham & Barnham in the Portsmouth/Bognor direction.

"We can still run from Barnham towards Horsham, but only at a reduced speed."

Services from Victoria to Bognor/Portsmouth are being diverted via Hove currently.
