Trains

If you are travelling from the Portsmouth or Southampton areas toward Barnham / Brighton, you will be able to use your ticket with:

• South Western Railway between Southampton, Portsmouth, Havant, Fratton and Clapham Junction or London Waterloo.

• Great Western Railway between Southampton, Portsmouth and Fareham.

• Southern on routes between London Victoria, Clapham Junction and the Coast to allow travel via Clapham Junction

• Thameslink on routes between London and Brighton
  

Local Buses:

Local buses routes are expected to be busy, and Southern do not expect that they will be able to carry all Southern customers, therefore Southern have not been able to arrange for tickets to be accepted on these services.

Car Parking:

Passengers that hold a Car Park season ticket will be able to park at Chichester (Saturday only) Angmering, Bognor Regis or Arundel for no additional cost. These car parks might become busy so be aware that you may be unable to park once these are full.
