TRAIN services will be disrupted today due to planned engineering works.

Rail replacement buses are in place for the line closures.

The Southampton Central to Brighton service will start from Fareham. A replacement bus will run between Southampton Central and Fareham, departing earlier than the advertised train.

While works taking place between Three Bridges and Horsham will affect Southern and Thameslink services.

Buses replace Southern trains between Three Bridges and Pulborough.

Trains which run between London Victoria and Portsmouth Harbour will be diverted via Hove and run to an amended timetable.

For Thameslink, services that usually run between London Bridge and Horsham will terminate at Three Bridges but will call additionally at Norwood Junction, Purley, Coulsdon South and Merstham.

Services that usually run between Bedford and Gatwick Airport / Three Bridges will only run between Bedford and London Blackfriars.

Next week, rail services will be affected due to members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail and 13 train operators going on strike on June 21, 23 and 25.
