The rail operators Thameslink and Southern said a signalling failure had blocked all trains in and out of Brighton station in East Sussex, on Sunday.

The companies both made the announcement on their social media platforms about 12:30 BST.

Trains heading to Brighton terminated early, while services from the coast to the capital, Hastings and Southampton had to start at other stations.

The lines reopened just before 13:30 BST.
