Brighton floods cause chaos for transport links
All trains towards London have been delayed or cancelled
After unusually high levels of rainfall around East Sussex, train tracks and some roads have flooded and have been forced to close.
Thameslink, Southern and Gatwick Express services have been affected with cancellations and delays set to last indefinitely. No services are running between Haywards Heath and Three Bridges.

Officials have urged passengers to make alternative travel arrangements as any remaining trains will be heavily congested. For travel to or from Brighton/Lewes, National Rail recommend travelling to Barnham and changing for the Gatwick via Horsham service.
Earlier this morning, the M23 also flooded after a river burst its banks causing the motorway to close. It has since been reopened, however disruption is expected throughout the area until the end of the day.
This is the current (no pun intended) situation on the #M23: a river has burst its banks and is flowing down on to the carriageway. @HighwaysSEAST advise us the position is unlikely to improve due to more heavy rain & high winds forecast. pic.twitter.com/M4ABBhPaJI
