Southern Rail arrangements for Brighton Marathon
The rail company said the decision was made for the ‘safety and comfort of passengers and staff’.
Network Rail engineering work will be taking place on Sunday between Battersea Park and Balham, and between Selhurst and Purley. This means that Southern will be running a reduced service between Victoria and Brighton.
