Signalling staff being taken ill between Littlehampton and Southampton Central means all lines are disrupted. Trains running between these stations may be cancelled or delayed.
Disruption is expected until 07:00 Friday 23 December.
Customer Advice
Early morning journeys on the 23rd of December will be affected between Littlehampton and Chichester.
This will affect services to/from Southampton and Portsmouth as well.
Due to signalling staff short notice illness, services that would run through the Barnham area will not be able to do so, until after 6am. After this time, we still expect some disruption to services, while stock and crew get into right operating locations.
Journey planners are now up to date with those services we know will be affected, so please do check before you travel.
Some rail replacement buses have been booked, and will cover portions of the affected area, but these are expected to be quite busy, so you may wish to look at alternative means of transport to reach your destination.
