“If you need to travel to Barnham / Bognor Regis from London, we advise you to travel to Brighton and change trains there.

“South Western Railway will accept tickets between Portsmouth / Southampton and London Waterloo via Guildford.”

Those services will have a reduced capacity, as South Western has been affected by a landslip on their network, Southern said.
