Between Reading and Gatwick Airport

Description

There is a safety inspection of the track between Redhill and Gatwick Airport, meaning some lines are closed. Great Western Railway services running between these stations will be cancelled. Services are still able to run between Reading and Redhill.

Disruption is expected until 09:30.

Customer advice:

You may use your train ticket on the following, at no extra cost in both directions:

  • Southern services between Redhill and Gatwick Airport

  • Thameslink services between Redhill and Gatwick Airport

If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.

If you miss a connection as a result of being delayed, you can use your ticket on the next available services at no extra cost.

Additional information:

Great Western Railway are working with Network Rail staff to gather more information about the problem. They will then be able to understand how this will affect their services and how they can return to running a normal timetable.
