Southern is a major UK commuter operator serving London Victoria and London Bridge, with routes across South London, Surrey, Sussex and the South Coast. Its network provides frequent connections to Gatwick Airport, Brighton, Southampton and Portsmouth.

Standard
TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Southern services can become crowded during the 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 commuter peaks, so travelling outside these periods can make longer journeys more comfortable. For Gatwick Airport, consider the front or rear sections of Class 377 and 387 trains for easier access to luggage space."
"If you have a Standard ticket, check the platform and onboard displays for First Class declassification before boarding, as these areas may occasionally be opened to Standard passengers. On longer journeys towards Brighton, Portsmouth or Southampton, checking the train formation before boarding can also help you position yourself near the luggage space you need."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"The lower concourse is a great waiting area away from the crowds, with a Sainsbury’s Local and Black Sheep Coffee for quick refreshments, plenty of seats and tables and often another passenger playing on the station piano. If you’ve got loads of time to spare, check out more shops and eateries in The Sidings, a new retail space with exciting pop-ups and BrewDog’s flagship bar housing duckpin bowling lanes and a giant slide."
