“On Saturday only trains which usually run between London Bridge and Epsom will not run. Trains which usually run between London Victoria and London Bridge will not run. This means that no Southern trains will call at stations between London Bridge and Norwood Junction.”

There are also no trains running between Lewes and Seaford today due to engineering works, meaning rail replacement buses are in operation.
