Southern Rail: Services to Gatwick Airport disrupted after signalling fault
Services to and from Gatwick Airport have been disrupted following a signalling fault.
Train services between Gatwick Airport and Three Bridges have been disrupted by a signalling fault, first reported by Southern Rail at 3.01pm on Wednesday, October 28, with passengers warned of delays of up to 30 minutes.
The fault has blocked one of the railway lines between Gatwick Airport and Three Bridges, affecting Gatwick Express, Southern and Thameslink services.
Disruption is expected to continue until 8pm, with trains subject to cancellations, revised timetables and delays.
A spokesperson for Southern Rail said: “Gatwick Express services between London Victoria and Brighton have been suspended. Passengers are advised to use Southern services between the two destinations instead.
“Thameslink services between Cambridge and Brighton have also been suspended. Passengers travelling between Cambridge and the south coast are advised to use alternative Thameslink or Southern services to London, then change to Great Northern services for Cambridge.
“Great Northern services between Cambridge and London King's Cross will make additional stops at Stevenage and Ashwell & Morden.
“Passengers travelling to intermediate stations between Stevenage and Cambridge should change at Stevenage for stopping services.”
Passengers are advised to check station departure boards and online journey planners before travelling, as services may change while the fault is being dealt with.
Passengers travelling through Gatwick Airport and Three Bridges are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and check for the latest updates before setting off.
