A new timetable is set to bring more trains from London to the Sussex coast later this month.
Southern’s December timetable begins on Monday, December 16, and includes new services between Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Uckfield, East Grinstead and the capital.
On Monday to Thursday, a new service will run from Bognor Regis to London Bridge via Littlehampton and Horsham during rush hour – bringing the number of trains to the capital from the two coastal towns in the morning peak up to nine.
The train will make the return journey in the evening peak, to take workers from the capital city back home.
Four new services between East Grinstead and London Victoria will be introduced to provide a half-hourly service throughout the evening.
People living in Uckfield can have longer nights out in London thanks to a later departure from London Bridge to Uckfield at 10.07pm.
Southern’s Customer Services director, Jenny Saunders, said: “We are pleased to bring in a number of changes for passengers across our network in the new December timetable, having developed it alongside our regular users and key partners.
“Commuters travelling on Southern trains across the south east will feel the benefits with an additional service running between the coast and the capital in rush hour and also to and from East Grinstead in the evenings.”
