The news of the delays at the station come after Storm Claudio has also caused many delays across Southern and Thameslink services in Sussex today.

In a statement Southern and Thameslink said: "Normal service is in place today but we expect some delays on some routes as speed restrictions are in place due to high winds this morning. Southern/Thameslink are expecting high winds across their coastal routes so there may be disruption to trains.”
