Trains Cancelled and Revised as East Croydon Platforms Shut for Safety Reasons

Some platforms at East Croydon station have been closed for safety reasons, causing disruption to services running through the station.

Platforms 1 and 2 are currently out of use, meaning trains may be cancelled, revised or moved to different platforms while the issue is dealt with.

• Gatwick Express between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport / Brighton

• Southern between London Victoria and East Grinstead / Uckfield / Littlehampton / Ore / Bognor Regis / Portsmouth Harbour, and between Watford Junction / London Bridge and East Croydon

• Thameslink between Peterborough and Horsham, Bedford and Three Bridges, Cambridge / Bedford and Brighton
