Due to the possibility of industrial action taking place on the 26th and 27th April there will be alterations to some services .

At the present time the following lines will have no service .
Clapham Junction to Milton Keynes via Kensington Olympia
Dorking to Horsham
Oxted to Uckfield
Haywards Heath to Lewes
Preston Park to Hove
Lewes to Seaford
Eastbourne to Ashford International (South Eastern Trains services between St Leonards Warrior Square and Hastings will continue to operate).
Chichester to Portsmouth Harbour and Southampton Central (SWT and GWR services between Havant and Portsmouth Harbour / Southampton Central will continue to operate).
Redhill to Tonbridge
Redhill to Reigate (GWR services will operate normally).
Earlswood , Salfords and Faygate stations will not be served .

A limited service will operate on the following routes :
London Bridge to East Grinstead
Three bridges to Chichester
Brighton to Bognor Regis
Brighton to Eastbourne

A reduced service will operate :
London to Brighton

This could change this is what is presently planned by Southern , they could find that they could operate more or less services on the day.

Oh, this means that not all class 460 carriages are being converted to 458/5 after all.


RE: Southern Trains - childwallblues - 15/05/2016 05:01

It was only ever planned to use 60 of the 64 coaches.
The first thirty converted became 458531-36. The other 30 were inserted into 458001-30(8001-30) which became 458501-30.

It just looks likely that the TOC - Southern and the trade unions are on a collision course here .

It seems that this could be quite an interesting time ahead for the passengers in this area.
