A broken-down tanker on the back of a tractor is blocking trains between Lewes and Eastbourne.
The tanker broke down at Berwick, where there is a level crossing, and is causing major problems.
The obstruction means all lines between the two stations are blocked.
Trains to and from these stations will be cancelled.
