Train disruption after fire at rail power station

A fire in a power supply cabinet has caused rail delays across West Sussex

Trains across West Sussex have been disrupted after a fire broke out in a railway power station.

Southern Rail says trains between Barnham and Horsham will be affected throughout this morning after a "fire service incident" near Pulborough at about 05:00 GMT.

West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service and Network Rail said the fire in a substation near London Road meant there was no electricity to power the trains.

Disruption from the fire is expected to last until 10:00, Southern Rail said.

There are no services at either Pulborough or Arundel due to the blaze, which has now been extinguished.

Rail replacement buses are in place between Horsham, Pulborough, Amberley and Arundel, Southern Rail said.
