*TRAIN NEWS* Brighton main line closed tomorrow

[Tricky Dicky]

Network Rail guy on Sky News just now said - referring specifically to Brighton/Patcham - "A full service will be running tomorrow"

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Services to start resuming again from now onwards, unsure on what service will be running. [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] might know more.

Trains will be delayed though as train crew and stock will be out of place.

Southern site now says trains running through from 3.30 today

Looks like all planned trains will now carry on direct to Brighton and will stop diverting via Lewes. No idea about FCC at the moment.

I think they are going to start to run some trains through the area, but until further notice services are still being diverted via Lewes.

Neighbour has just returned from the station where he was told to keep an eye out as to whether the service would run as normal tomorrow. Fingers crossed it will. No trains have yet come through preston park station. I know that as I live next to it.

If you see my post above, NR rail have promised a full service for tomorrow. Mind, if it rains again as planned on Thurs, we could be scr*w*d again.

And Lo, the first train has just gone past.

A FCC service ran via Preston Park 10 minutes ago and another FCC has just left Brighton running North.

Yep, saw that post. Was just saying what my neighbour was told at the station about 15 mins ago.

Just sent a train up Brighton - Preston Park

Bloody woke me up

Trains running through now but emergency timetable will remain in place which means few services running through , the xx06 and xx36 Victoria to Brighton will run direct now meaning even less football trains as these were booked to call at Falmer on the diversion

 

[Hamilton]

Ooo, another one.

I wish it would bloody well rain. Was enjoying the peace and quiet.

No chance of resuming Brighton - Lewes shuttles then ? Second thoughts, are they any staff available to run them ?

I think it is going to be last minute if stock and crew are available

Looks like FCC are running half-hourly between Brighton and Bedford. Southern should be running half hourly between Victoria and Brighton too.

Only 3 trains an hour now between Brighton and Lewes now.

Is the 17:42 London Bridge still going to Brighton via Lewes do you know ?
