"Disruption is expected until 11pm.

"Response staff are en-route and are due on site at around 8.30pm. The affected train will be unable to move until response staff have assessed it.

Hastings line trains are unable to from Hastings to Tunbridge Wells until at least 8.45pm.

Affected travellers can use their tickets on Arriva bus route 7 between Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge at no extra charge.
