January 8, 2026
    Travelling to Gatwick Airport or Brighton

    On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January, rail journeys to Gatwick Airport and Brighton will be disrupted due to Network Rail engineering works.

    Direct services to the airport will be available from Victoria, while routes from London Bridge will involve a replacement bus service from East Grinstead.
