SOUTHERN RAILWAY SERVICE UPDATE
Updated 3 December 08.20hrs

Dear Passenger,

The poor weather conditions are prevailing today with snow and ice covering much of the Southern network. As a result we are operating a revised timetable with a reduced service running on a limited number of routes.

The service will continue until around 21.00 tonight.

Due to train availability on some routes (particularly on the East Coastway), some trains may be formed of fewer carriages than normal, so trains may be busier than usual.

The revised timetable is as follows:

GATWICK AIRPORT

Gatwick Airport has now re-opened and is being served by two Southern services, the Victoria to Brighton and London Bridge to Three Bridges services, departing as above.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have been working through the night in very challenging operating conditions to keep points clear and keep routes open by running ‘ghost’ trains and de-icers. However, the freezing temperatures and levels of snow around the network still pose a significant risk to our ability to run a reliable service today, and we are experiencing delays on some routes.

First Capital Connect and London Overground services are also affected by disruption on the Brighton Mainline and in the East Metro area.

The following services are accepting Southern ticket holders on all routes:

  • South West Trains – but services are disrupted. Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays of up to 60 minutes can be expected.
  • Southeastern – but services are disrupted
  • TfL buses
  • London Tramlink

The following services are accepting Southern ticket holders on some routes:

  • London Underground – on reasonable routes
  • Brighton & Hove Buses are operating a limited service and have advised they will accept Southern passengers on service 12 buses between Seaford, Newhaven and Brighton

We will continue to update our website, southernrailway.com with the latest information.

You can also find up to date information on our Southern Journey Check page.
