Rail passengers heading to and from London face a weekend of disruption.

Trains from Brighton and across Sussex will not run to London Victoria on Saturday and Sunday as engineering works close all lines to the major station.

Southern and Gatwick Express services across the Brighton mainline will be affected. Trains will instead be redirected to London Bridge.

A spokesman for Govia Thameslink Railway, which runs services along the Brighton mainline, said the disruption was due to engineering works taking place at London Victoria.

Southern trains from Ore, Eastbourne, Brighton, Littlehampton and East Grinstead will instead be diverted to begin and end at London Bridge and will have an extended journey time. Trains from Horsham to London Victoria will also be affected.

Thameslink trains into London will be unaffected.
