Easter holidays travel update for Sussex: Railway engineering works, police incident and flooding among incidents to be aware of

Following a points failure, Southern Rail said no services will run between Leatherhead and Horsham while ‘additional engineering works’ take place today from 8pm today until 6am tomorrow (April 7).

A spokesperson said: “Services which usually run between London Victoria, Dorking/Horsham will run as far as Leatherhead. We would recommend you travelling earlier if possible tomorrow night, as you will need to use alternative travel options after 20:00.”

This follows a points failure, which was reported between Leatherhead and Horsham shortly after 8am on Tuesday. Disruption came to an end at 7.30pm.

A spokesperson said: “Further repair works will be required to make a permanent fix to the points.”

Meanwhile – as another word of warning – Southern has advised that no services will run to or from London Victoria, while Network Rail carry out works on April 7, 8, 9, 10, 15 and 16.

A spokesperson said: “Network Rail are modernising 1980s track and signalling on some lines into London Victoria station. There will be no Southern or Gatwick Express trains and you will need to amend your journey on some dates.

“You can read more about the works and the benefits at networkrail.co.uk/victoriaresignalling.”
