Thanks. Shut for up to 3 hours in report I read.
What the M23 or BML?
M23. Shut both ways. An hour ago, so 2 hours left.
Just checked Argus website:
"THE M23 will be closed while emergency work is carried out to an overhead power cable.
The road will be closed between Gatwick (junction 9) and the M25 (junction 8) for the work to be carried out and it is expected to take a couple of hours to complete.
A spokesman for Highways England said: “We are working hard with UK Power Networks to reopen the M23 as soon as it is safe to do so, aiming to complete the work as soon as possible while avoiding any peak time restrictions on the motorway.
“A clearly signed diversion will be in place via the standard diversion route following the hollow diamond for the southbound and solid square for the northbound via the A23 and A217.”
Motorists are being advised to plan their journeys and allow additional time if required."
So the M23 and the rail mainline are both closed.

The trains are up the creek too.
See post above.
It was a little confusing as Gatwick was mention in Balkam's tweet.
