With the heavy rainfall being experienced across the Uk, water levels have been on the rise each day. Yesterday there were reports of delays in railway transport. Trains in Purley, couldson South, RedhillMerstham and Gatwick airport reported delays in transportation.
In couldson South, the problem was majorly caused by an appearance of a watercourse that only appears during the rainy season. Houses in the local community sorrounding Couldson South have experienced flooding in their gardens and in their households.
People living around these areas have been reporting cases where water has even seeped through electric equipment in their houses thereby affecting signalling. Cases of blackouts have also been reported.
The railway company operating the routes has said that signalling problem is affecting communication, thereby anticipating possible delays and disruptions of the southern services between Purley and Gatwick airport.
There will also be delays on travel between Merstham and Redhill. They said that the delays may last until the heavy rainfall subsides.
The company announced that some trains travelling from London to Gatwick may be diverted without calling Gatwick or Couldson south. The company urged travellers to use the national rail enquiries real time journey planner to check progress of trains.
