Firefighters dealt with the incident quickly and a spokesman for Southern Rail declared the incident over at 12.41pm this morning.
A spokesman said: "The disruption due to an incident requiring the emergency services between Worthing and Littlehampton has now ended.
"Services are no longer affected by this problem."
