Southern services to and from Ashford International will be ‘severely delayed, cancelled or revised’ to only complete parts of their journeys – for example, only running between Rye and Hastings.
Southern added: “Services which usually terminate at Ore will need to terminate before reaching the station – for example at Hastings – starting their return journeys away from Ore.
“Journeys will take much longer than usual on these routes. If you must travel then please travel later where possible.”
Southern is sourcing replacement buses for the area.
