I know constituents have been asking for Horsham and nearby stations to be better served during the current bout of rail strikes. I am extremely disappointed that the RMT have called further strikes for Thursday 16 and Saturday 18 March. However unlike previous strike dates, two trains per hour will run between Barnham and Three Bridges. This means stations including Billingshurst, Christ's Hospital, Horsham, Littlehaven and Faygate (limited services) will be served on strike days, albeit with a reduced service. Services at Balcombe will also be reduced to two trains per hour in either direction.
As on previous occasions disruption will also occur on the days following the strikes, GTR strongly advises that you plan your journey beforehand: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

Please see the below file for GTR’s diagram of services running on 16 and 18 March.
