A train failure at South Shields had meant there were no trains operating from Chichester to South Shields.

Chichester platform 2 was opened for passengers to travel towards Newcastle.

The failed train has now been moved and trains are operating to all destinations, subject to delays between South Shields and St James.

Chichester platform 2 will now close again.
