Sussex and Surrey travel report: Fallen tree partially blocks road; traffic lights fail; 'severe' A27 delays; major railway delays

In East Sussex, there have been reports of a fallen tree in the Rye area.

An AA Traffic News notice read: “Partially blocked due to fallen tree on B2089 Chitcombe Road both ways near the pub. Approach with care.”

Bus company Stagecoach has been affected by the incident, which is said to be causing delays in both directions.

Major delays have also been reported on Lewes Road southbound into Brighton.

In West Sussex, a number of areas are experiencing morning disruption during rush-hour.

Traffic is said to be queuing in Crawley. It comes after the traffic lights reportedly failed on the Pease Pottage roundabout and there's a lane closed on the exit ramp.

An AA notice read: “Queueing traffic due to stalled vehicle on A23 northbound at M23 J11 (Pease Pottage).”

Motorists have reported backed-up traffic through Broadfield – all the way down Tollgate Hill.

An incident had earlier been reported on the M23, between Junction 9 and 10 but this has since been cleared.
