Just heard on the news that an empty train has derailed in Brighton. Not sure if in Lovers Walk on in Station.
and reports of signal failure at Cooden Beach....
I believe it was a SPAD. Not a great day, combined with all the axle counter failures over on the east coast!
And Normans bay, bexhill, willington junction and Wilmington!
Bring back the old signals and the signallers !!!!
Well some of the old signallers are working the new signals so your halfway there lol
Ha ha! So get them back on their old haunts waving the yellow flags ...
A picture in the Eastbourne Herald shows the errant 377 partially blocking the main line adjacent to the depot. There is a 442 trapped behind it
I'm surprised the forum hasn't gone mad on a campaign to free the 442

No passenger train derailments in FY2014, and already there are two in FY2015.
Slowly restoring things - the E/W Coastways are back into Brighton and there was at the last count - 2 and by now 4 platforms main line in service. Down fast blocked by the unit which has derailed one car - so a torrid evening and a threat to the am peak....
No speculation please as to the cause - this will come out in due course. The professionals are hard at it restoring services and infrastructure.....
Interestingly, I've just noticed on the Thameslink train tracker that if a train is running earlier than expected it's still marked as 'Delayed'. That's slightly confusing to me!

I think that it's the up main that's blocked
Sorry - yes indeed - the track circuit interupter did it's job and has therefore blocked it from a signalling point of view - of course the derailed unit may be foul of it in any case.
