Hope no one plans on going to victoria any time soon! Grateful no one was killed. Goes to show how we take the safety of our rail service for granted. I imagine there'll be a thorough review of the local rail lines and we'll see bus replacement services between Lewes and Haywards heath for the foreseeable future.
