"National Rail said on Sunday the work was not expected to be finished in time, with disruption to services likely until the end of Monday. Thameslink and Southern rail also warned of disruption and said only two of four lines between Gatwick and East Croydon would be available on Monday, which meant there would be "a reduced service across the network"."
"Passengers were advised to check journey planners ahead of travelling and allow extra time to complete journeys. National Rail provided a list of expected changes but said other short notice changes and delays were also likely. Journey planners were due to be updated by 22:00 GMT on Sunday, it added. People who want to delay their journey until Tuesday will be able to use Monday-dated tickets on Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express services, National Rail said."

Passengers are advised to check journey planners, allow extra time and expect short-notice changes. Monday-dated tickets will be valid for travel on Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express on Tuesday. Some Southern routes will run normally.
