Landslip near the track near East Grinstead (Image: Network Rail)
Railway services are disrupted due to a landslip near the track.
It happened at around 11am today between Oxted and East Grinstead.
Services were running through the area slowly but Network Rail has now decided to block the line.
Commuters can use their tickets on buses instead.
A Network Rail spokesman said: “We're sorry but we've had to block the line between Hurst Green and East Grinstead as this landslip has been spotted on the London-bound side, affecting Southern Rail passengers.
“We hope this will be a temporary closure while we monitor the earth movement.
We have people on site and specialists on their way to examine the slip further to judge whether we can reopen.”
