A power cut at Gatwick Airport railway station has caused disruption to train services
Train services have been disrupted between London and Brighton due to a power cut at Gatwick Airport.
The electricity failure means no trains are able to call at Gatwick Airport station, with passengers urged to leave at least an extra hour to complete their journey.
Tickets are being accepted on Metrobus services between Crawley, Three Bridges, Gatwick, East Grinstead, Redhill and Purley.
