Bad weather is expected to affect trains on the Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express routes today.

Operators will be working with Network Rail throughout the day to respond to changes in conditions, but they are asking passengers to check services before they travel, especially after 8pm.

High winds and rain are expected to cause delays and alterations to services.

Any passengers who experience a delay should keep their train ticket and a note of their journey in order to apply for compensation.
