00:09 Commuters in part of West Sussex are facing major disruption after a train crashed into

00:13 a level crossing barrier this morning.

00:16 All lines are currently blocked and no trains are able to run through the Arran Valley between

00:20 Arrandale and Horsham.

00:22 It comes after a train struck a level crossing barrier which had been pushed onto the tracks

00:26 near Billinghurst.

00:27 Following the collision, the train and a cable to the electric third rail were damaged, causing

00:32 further delays.

00:33 Disruption is now expected to last until 4pm.

00:37 A hotel in Sussex has been named one of the best in the UK.

00:41 A Room with a View in Marine Parade Brighton has been named the fifth best hotel in the

00:45 small and boutique category in TripAdvisor's Traveller's Choice Awards.

00:50 The awards celebrate the highest level of excellence in travel and are awarded to fewer

00:54 than 1% of listings on the site.

00:57 The hotel, which appeared in the 2014 episode of Channel 4's 4 in a Bed, was commended for

01:02 being 'all about quality and comfort'.

01:05 A Room with a View has been given a 5 star rating from more than 1,000 reviews on TripAdvisor.

01:11 And finally, an MP from West Sussex who was detained and deported by an East African country

01:16 believes his expulsion was a direct consequence of his criticism of the Chinese regime, The

01:21 Telegraph has revealed.

01:23 Tim Lawton, the Conservative MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, was detained for more than seven

01:28 hours at the airport during a visit to Djibouti this month for a 24-hour visit, which included

01:33 meeting the British ambassador.

01:36 The Sussex-born MP was barred entry to the country on April 8th and was told he was being

01:40 removed on the next available flight.

01:42 Mr Lawton told The Telegraph he believes his intimidating detention and expulsion by the

01:47 Djibouti authorities was a direct consequence of his criticism of the Chinese regime.
