Services which normally run between London Victoria and Portsmouth / Bognor Regis will not run between London Victoria and Gatwick, and will terminate and start back from Gatwick Airport.

Network Rail say it is in the process of sourcing replacement parts for these and have made a temporary repair, and further work to repair them will take place tomorrow Monday evening (June 12) into Tuesday morning (June 13).

A power cut at Gatwick Airport’s railway station also caused disruption on Saturday (June 10).
