Engineering work is set to close a major railway route this weekend.

The work will close all railway lines between Brighton and Littlehampton on Sunday, April 26.

No trains will run between Brighton, Preston Park, Worthing and Littlehampton.

Services between Brighton and Portsmouth Harbour or Southampton Central will run only between Littlehampton and those destinations for the duration of the works.

A rail replacement bus service will operate between Brighton, Worthing and Littlehampton, while trains between London Victoria and Littlehampton will be diverted to start and end at Brighton.

Travellers are advised to plan ahead using the National Rail Enquiries Journey Planner and that replacement vehicles may be busier than usual.

Journey times will be increased, and passengers have been told to allow extra time to travel. 

Passengers have also been advised that some Southern services from Portsmouth Harbour and Bognor Regis towards London will be retimed to depart earlier than usual on April 25 and 26.

This is to accommodate amended Thameslink services, as a result of engineering work between Herne Hill and Farringdon.

Full information regarding replacement services will be available via station signage or can be found by searching on the Find a Station page.
