No evening trains calling at stations in the Lewes area

On Thursday 5 November 2020 evening train services are being changed at Lewes and its surrounding stations amid concerns that people will try to travel to the town, exposing the local community to an increased risk of COVID-19.

No permission has been given for public firework displays or bonfires and no road closures are being implemented to allow for the usual processions.

Despite this, there is a real risk that visitors will still come to the town, causing potentially dangerous over-crowding and additional public health issues due to COVID-19.

Therefore, it has been agreed by a multi-agency group, which includes emergency services and local authorities, not to stop trains at stations near Lewes to help reduce the risks of a serious incident or COVID-19 outbreak.
