**Gatwick Airport Station Evacuated Amid Train Chaos** Gatwick Airport's railway station has been evacuated, leading to significant disruption for holidaymakers. The evacuation follows reports of two individuals being struck by trains on separate lines. Southern Rail has confirmed that the station is closed due to overcrowding, and passengers are unable to enter until further notice. A spokesman for Southern Rail stated, "Gatwick Airport station has been evacuated due to overcrowding. Please note that no passengers will be able to enter the station until further notice." In addition, Thameslink has suspended its services, advising travellers to avoid the network. A spokeswoman for Thameslink said, "Due to multiple incidents across the network, Thameslink services will be cancelled until further notice and we recommend not to travel." She urged passengers on halted trains to remain on board, stating, "If your train has come to a stand in between stations, please remain on board and do not attempt to leave the train unless directed to by a member of staff. We know where you are and we are working to get you on the move again shortly." National Rail has also issued a warning, indicating that no trains are running between Luton and St Albans City in either direction. Furthermore, services between Gatwick Airport, Haywards Heath, and Horsham are suspended. The statement from National Rail reads, "Please delay your journey until later in the day. If you are travelling now, your journey will take at least 120 minutes longer than usual to complete, and we cannot guarantee you will be able to reach your destination." As the situation develops, passengers are advised to stay updated on service changes and to consider alternative travel arrangements.
