Times change for Uckfield Line trains this autumn

Some Uckfield Line trains will be departing a few minutes earlier than usual in the coming weeks to ensure they reach their destination on-time.

An “autumn leaf fall timetable” will operate from October 3 to December 9.

Southern’s Development Director, Alex Foulds said: “Autumn poses a risk to a very small number of our rural routes which can be vulnerable to poor rail conditions due to leaf fall. We are making the changes to reduce this risk by starting some services a little earlier than usual.

“We know how important it is for our passengers to have the confidence that they will arrive at work on time, and by starting these trains a little earlier, we should be able to achieve this.”

Changes:

The 07:08 Uckfield to London Bridge service starts 3 minutes earlier at Uckfield, Buxted, Crowborough and Eridge and 2 minutes earlier at Edenbridge Town, Hurst Green and Oxted. Times from East Croydon remain the same.
