Note from Thameslink
Due to the severe weather conditions forecast for today and Monday February 8th, speed restrictions will be in operation on some routes from 21:00 today until 03:00, and from 11:00am on Monday 8 February as a safety precaution.
We plan to run our Monday morning service as advertised, however passengers are advised that disruption is highly likely and to check their journey before travelling.
Passengers are being advised to expect delays and disruption as forecasters are predicting winds in excess of 70mph across the South Coast on Monday.
With the strength of the winds expected, railway infrastructure could be damaged as severe winds can blow debris and trees onto tracks and damage equipment and signals.
