Delays of up to 30 minutes are expected on services between Oxted and East Grinstead this evening (July 01), Southern Railway has said.

The announcement comes after British Transport Police apprehended a trespasser who caused the initial disruption.

Some services may be revised so customers are urged to keep an eye out for announcements on the platform. Ticket acceptance is still in place on alternative routes, but it may now be quicker to wait for the train, a spokesperson has said.
