Southern Rail: Level crossing barrier fault at Angmering causes delay to trains across West Sussex

Southern Rail reported at 4.16pm on Tuesday, April 4 that services running through both Ford and Angmering stations ‘may be delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised due to the fault.

The rail operator also confirmed services between Littlehampton and London Victoria, between Southampton Central and Brighton, between Portsmouth & Southsea and Brighton as well as between Chichester and Brighton would be delayed.

A spokesperson for Southern Rail said: “Given the level of disruption, the following changes are taking place.

"Please see below how trains are being affected:

“Services which usually run between Southampton Central and Brighton will now only run between Southampton Central and Littlehampton

“Select services which run between Littlehampton and London Victoria (via Hove) may divert via Horsham and not call at stations between Gatwick Airport and Barnham.

“As a result of this, there is a slightly reduced service between Barnham and Brighton in both directions - but you still can make your journey by train.

“You could also need to change onto more than usual trains to reach your journey which could extend your journey time by around 10-20 minutes.

"You should leave plenty additional time to reach your destination and check before you travel.
