I notice they have cancelled all trains between Redhill and Gatwick Airport due to the earlier landslip. What has changed from yesterday?
Alas due to another issue, there is only 1 train an hour between Gatwick Airport and Redhill at the moment and it only connects with the slow train to Reading.
At least it connects with that one.
Update: Actually another issue between Gatwick Airport and Redhill is also canceling North Downs Line trains. National Rail Enquiries have this:
So maybe it is that issue rather than the landslip or maybe it is in fact both and it's not possible to list both reasons on the live departure boards.
Despite it being all day, all the train from Gatwick Airport to Reading from 13:29 onwards are still showing as starting at Gatwick Airport.
I'm on the delayed 10:39. It was delayed waiting for another delayed train to arrive and leave first. I hope I don't miss the 11am service or I'll have a 40 minute wait at Redhill.
I decided not to travel via Clapham Junction as my ticket isn't valid that way. I bought the ticket before realising the issue. They haven't said one can travel via Clapham Junction. If only but then I wouldn't have seen it as the note about the service that was started short, the 10:29, just says it's due to the earlier landslip and there is no link to any other page.
Thankfully the train wasn't that delayed into Redhill. I was expecting a larger delay than this. Only 4 minutes or so.
