Southern Railway Revised Timetables

Southern Railway has implemented an amended weekday timetable from today until further notice.  Southern Railway has had to cancel a large number of services in recent months due to a high level of conductor sickness and limited train crew availability.  In a statement on its website, Southern says the revised timetable will give more certainty for passengers.  

Routes affected in the Susy Radio area are the Gatwick Express service which will see fewer services; the Reigate/Redhill to Tonbridge line will not operate services to and from London at peak times;  and there will be fewer services at off peak times between Redhill and London.  

Timetables can be downloaded from www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/revised-timetable/.
