Commuters are set for rush-hour chaos on Monday morning, as two major rail companies have warned that signalling faults will spark huge delays.
Southern Rail and Thameslink, who operate services from the southeast into London, said no trains will be running on either of their lines.
Workers travelling from Sussex, Surrey or Kent, will find their journeys severely disrupted and services to Gatwick Airport have been affected.
Services between Littlehampton and London Victoria are not operating this morning until further notice. Anyone travelling on this route has been advised to travel via Horsham or use Stagecoach 700 buses to travel to Brighton for alternative services from there.
Services to-and-from Brighton are expected to be very busy this morning.
Great Western Railway has also issued a notice for those travelling between London Paddington and Reading. Due to a landslip, some train services may be delayed or revised.

But trains are still running between Brighton, Hastings and Eastbourne. Network Rail is examining the track and will be providing updates.
A spokesperson for Southern Rail said: Due to a major signalling fault across the whole Southern Network, no trains will be running until further notice.
‘Do not travel on any Southern route until further notice.
‘We are currently monitoring the situation and will provide updates as soon as possible.’
Thameslink issued the same message.
