Network Rail confirms normal service has resumed following earlier disruption between Barnham and Horsham
West Sussex – 27 March 2025 — Train services between Barnham and Horsham are now back to normal after earlier disruption caused by a fire near the railway line at Pulborough.
Earlier today, a fire in a power supply cabinet affected the electricity supply to the third rail, bringing Southern Rail services to a halt between Barnham, Pulborough, and Horsham. The fire brigade was called to deal with the incident, which caused delays and cancellations across parts of the Southern and Thameslink network.
In a follow-up update, Southern Rail confirmed:
“Disruption caused by the fire brigade dealing with an incident near the railway earlier today at Pulborough has now ended. Services are no longer affected by this problem.”
