Local roads – Bexhill, St Leonards and Hastings
Advance warning: A2690 Combe Valley Way. Confirmed planned bridge inspections and barrier repairs close the road to through traffic between Haven Brook Avenue roundabout and Queensway on 18 and 19 November, 20:00–06:00 each night, finishing at 06:00 on 20 November. The signed diversion uses the A2690, A21, A2102 and A259 in both directions. Property access is limited and managed by the site team; allow time for an escort or a wait while access is made safe. Works depend on suitable weather. Official scheme notice.
A complete list of active local utility closures, temporary signals and reopening times could not be verified from the accessible sources today. This does not mean roads are clear. East Sussex Highways directs drivers to its daily-updated One.Network map: check local roadworks before leaving. Confirm access to your pickup address, especially when travelling through smaller local roads.
Rail – replacement buses tonight and Sunday
Tonight, Thursday 12 November: planned buses replace Southern trains between Eastbourne and Hastings/Ore from approximately 21:30 until the end of service. Trains towards Ashford International run only between Hastings and Ashford; take an earlier bus from Eastbourne to connect. National Rail evening works notice.
Sunday 15 November: planned buses replace trains between Polegate and Eastbourne/Hastings/Ore. Separate buses connect Normans Bay with Cooden Beach, where passengers change for Eastbourne–Ore buses. An amended train service operates between Hastings and Ashford International. Check your exact station, replacement-bus stop and connection time before setting off. Sunday engineering notice.
Yesterday’s time-limited Heathrow rail warning is not being carried forward as a live alert. The disruption results available during this check included notices dated 11 November, so they do not establish today’s operating status. Check current National Rail information before airport connections.
Road journeys to airports and ports
Check National Highways’ closure report for your journey date and direction on the M23, M25, A27 and connecting routes. Individual current restrictions on these routes were not verified for this snapshot; allow time to check your route before departure.
Flights, ferries and cruises
Individual flight cancellations and passenger sailing statuses were not verified today. Brittany Ferries’ sailing-update page could not be retrieved. Confirm your airline’s departure status or your Portsmouth/Southampton operator’s sailing, terminal and check-in deadline directly before leaving. For overseas journeys, consult FCDO destination advice; conflict alone does not establish that a particular flight is cancelled.
Dated snapshot: information can change after publication. This is not real-time monitoring. Recheck official sources and your operator before departure.
