London Victoria to Fareham

[Bozo]

Hi,

In a few weeks time I'm travelling from London Victoria to Fareham, and from what I can understand on the timetable, it looks like the train splits at Horsham. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? and if so, which end of the train should I sit at so I don't end up having to move at Horsham.

Thanks.

Usually it’s the front 4 coaches for Fareham and Southampton or Portsmouth

There should be plenty of automated announcements on board as well as the scrolling information screen giving the forthcoming station stops and of which portion of the train to be in after the split.

Most likely the portion calling at Fareham will be that at the front and working forward to Southampton Central. The other portion will probably be one for Bognor Regis.

Yes, was just adding Portsmouth as the other option those trains that split go to

Trains from London Victoria that split at Horsham before continuing on to Portsmouth Harbour / Bognor Regis won't ever have a portion direct for Fareham, will they?

No, but it’s an option to sometimes change on a Brighton to Southampton train or change at Fratton or something

Indeed. However the OP was, of course, talking about taking a direct train from London Victoria to Fareham, and not having to switch carriages when the train splits at Horsham. Changing trains en route wasn't really contemplated.

Of course, however it’s good to know all your options, I’ve had a few nightmare journeys along those lines before
