Flooding is causing disruption to travel across the south east of England after heavy rain overnight.

The M23 has been closed between junctions 10 and 11 in both directions in West Sussex, Highways England said.

On the railways, Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express passengers have been advised not to travel, with disruption to services on the Brighton mainline.

Southeastern says there are no trains between Strood and Maidstone West.

The rail company posted on its website: “A tree blocking the railway between Strood and Maidstone West means all lines are blocked. Train services running between these stations will be suspended.

“Disruption is expected until the end of the day.”

Details of Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express services affected have also been posted on Southern’s website.

Trains between Brighton and Haywards Heath are being disrupted and there are no services between Haywards Heath and Three Bridges.

The Environment Agency has issued flood alerts across Kent, East and West Sussex and Surrey.
