Hastings to Charing Cross line to close again

Southeastern said the route is being closed due to engineering works.

As a result, buses will replace trains between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings.

Southeastern said because of limited road access, a minibus service will also run between Battle and Crowhurst.

The line was recently closed for several days due to landslips at Wadhurst.
