There’s just one more day of work on Sunday 3 October as part of our £22m Arun Valley Line Improvement Project. Please plan ahead and check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk

Thank you @SouthernRailUK and @TLRailUK passengers for your patience while we’ve delivered this work to improve journeys today and long into the future. Here’s a quick recap of the work we’ve done to improve track, signalling, earthworks and stations on the #ArunValley Line

Our staff worked 80,000 hours on more than 40 miles of railway for a mixture of upgrades and maintenance across 120 different sites from #Arundel to #Crawley and from #Horsham to #Dorking

Track and crossing equipment at the critical #Horsham junction was replaced giving passengers better, more reliable journeys. We also installed a new crossover at Horsham station to improve operational flexibility between Horsham and #ThreeBridges

The embankment at Ockley and cutting at North Stoke tunnel were stabilised to prevent landslips and reduce delays to passengers

We repaired and refurbished some of our railway structures, including Amberley station footbridge, Pulborough station canopies, Timberley Farm Viaduct and Timberley Farm Overbridge

Enabling work took place at Parsonage Road level crossing ahead of its upgrade to a full barrier CCTV crossing in 2022

Platform 2 at Littlehaven station was lengthened to allow 12-cars @TLRailUK trains to stop, open all doors and not overhang at the level crossing. This new infrastructure will also come into use in August 2022

Stations along the Arun Valley Line were refurbished, painted and deep cleaned giving passengers a more pleasant journey experience
