Overnight flooding has severely disrupted road and rail services in the south-east of England.
A main line rail tunnel has been flooded, preventing trains from travelling between London and Brighton.
There have also been no train services between Tonbridge, Kent, and Redhill, Surrey.
Flooding on the A23 in Sussex has led to the carriageway being closed in both directions, between Bolney and Pease Pottage. Diversions are in place.
Delays on the road have been estimated at 90 minutes, with diversions taking motorists through Cowfold and Horsham.
Further showers are expected throughout the day.
Southern rail said due to flooding in the Balcombe tunnel, Sussex, there were currently no services between Haywards Heath and Three Bridges in either direction.
Replacement buses have also been affected by flooding on local roads, so passengers for London have been advised to travel via Barnham and the Arun Valley, or via Hastings for Southeastern services.
Southern tickets are being accepted on Southeastern and First Capital Connect services.
Brighton station tweeted: "Please avoid main line. All at a stand. A test train is making its way though the tunnel. Engineers are having access issues."
Passenger Barbara Groom, who is stuck on the Brighton line, said: "We were told by rail staff to call our bosses and tell them we can't get to work."
Gatwick Airport said despite the disruption to travel to and from the airport, it was operating as normal.
However, passengers have been advised to allow plenty of extra time to reach the airport.
The Environment Agency has issued 11 flood warnings for parts of Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
It said "immediate action" was required for people to protect their homes.
