Rail replacement buses in Sussex: no trains between Three Bridges and Brighton or Lewes today
and live on Freeview channel 276
A message on the company’s Twitter account said buses will replace trains between these stations so that ‘major improvement works’ can be carried out.
This means that trains will not serve the following stations: Balcombe, Haywards Heath, Wivelsfield, Burgess Hill, Hassocks, Preston Park, Plumpton and Cooksbridge.

A Southern spokesperson said: “There will be changes to train services across the Southern and Thameslink networks and significantly longer journey times for some passengers, so please allow extra time if travelling on these dates.”
“While the work takes place, a train service will run between Brighton and London Victoria in both directions, using a diverted route via Littlehampton and Horsham,” they added.
“If you are travelling between Brighton or Hove and London, you can use this direct train service to avoid the need to change between buses and trains at Three Bridges.”
