Christmas travel warning as Gatwick Express and Southern rail reduce services
Rail passengers across Sussex are being urged to plan ahead as Gatwick Express and Southern services will operate a reduced timetable in the days leading up to Christmas.
On Monday, 22 December and Tuesday, 23 December, trains across all Gatwick Express and Southern routes will run all day to a reduced festive timetable, with fewer services than normal.
On Wednesday, 24 December, services will continue to operate on an amended and reduced timetable until approximately 5pm. After this time, a further reduction in services will take place, with all last trains expected to reach their final destinations by around 9pm.
Passengers travelling during this period are advised to check journey times in advance and allow extra time for travel, particularly those heading to Gatwick Airport or making essential journeys in the run up to Christmas.
