David Coates, Govia Thameslink Railway’s head of customer service improvement, said: “Service changes and reductions on these weekends will mean that most journeys through Gatwick Airport and Three Bridges stations will take considerably longer than normal, so we are encouraging customers to check service routes and times, and plan ahead before they travel. Together with Network Rail, we thank our customers for their patience during this vital work.”
All lines between Three Bridges and Brighton, Lewes and Hove will be closed on Saturday November 13.
