During the Christmas and New Year period, scheduled rail improvements are due to take place affecting many services to and from Gatwick. Network Rail is undertaking a major renewal of a junction just north of Purley station that will affect services into Gatwick. The works will commence at 2200hrs on 24th December and run through until 0400 hrs on 4th January. The following services will be affected:

• No Gatwick Express service
• No trains between South Croydon and Redhill – train diversions and rail replacements will be in place.
• The Thameslink service will be terminating at East Croydon
• Southern service will be running to East Croydon / East Grinstead with connecting rail replacement buses or alternative rail services from London Victoria to Gatwick via Horsham.
