Following the discovery of sinkholes on a bridge outside of Purley, we had to close the railway between Purley and East Croydon, affecting journeys to Gatwick Airport
Sink holes were spotted on the bridge, meaning that ballast, the stones that the track sits on, was falling through the gap, making the track unstable
We've since carried out a thorough inspection of the bridge and are working to safely plug the gaps so that trains can safely run again
We're sorry for the disruption this has caused to passengers in the meantime

If you are travelling from London towards Brighton or a station between Brighton and Gatwick Airport/on the south coast ... we advise you use one of the 2 following options.
From Waterloo you can travel to Havant with South Western Railway. Change there for coast services.
From Charing Cross, you can travel to Hastings on Southeastern. Change there for coast services.
If you are travelling from the Brighton area towards London, do the opposite of this.
