Some trains from Brighton were unable to run after a van got wedged underneath a railway bridge.

The van got stuck underneath the railway bridge near Falmer station yesterday at around 11am. 

Rail services between Lewes and Brighton could not run until around 1pm as a result. 

One eyewitness also claimed that the driver "could not get out".
