Works continue on Polegate level crossing

The crossing was shut to vehicles and pedestrians at 11.45pm on Friday as Network Rail engineers started maintenance on drainage beneath the railway.

No rail services have been running through the stations with temporary buses in place from Haywards Heath and Brighton to Eastbourne and Seaford over the weekend.

Whilst works have been carried out members of the public have been able to access Polegate station footbridge and the rail service provider has also put on a 10 to 15 minute shuttle taxi service, travelling from one side of the crossing to the other between 7am and 11pm.
