## Resource

Gatwick commuters hit the brakes overnight after Network Rail discovered dangerous sinkholes on a bridge near Purley—forcing train shutdowns between London and the airport, even grounding the Gatwick Express. Engineers scrambled to fill the holes and stabilize the track, finally restoring services early this morning. Network Rail apologized for the chaos, offering refunds and yesterday’s ticket validity for those delayed over 15 minutes—while still urging travelers to double-check plans for lingering issues.
