Fab video Kieran, just to point out to you at around 4:40 in the video that since the summer of last year Southern Services coming from Eastbourne and Littlehampton no longer join up, it is now the case that they operate as separate services (with no exceptions) and operate as longer train sets (roughly 8 and 12 car sets in length) for each service. Whereas, prior to this change in the timetable you had a 4 car set coming from Lit and 8 from Eastbourne/Ore joining up.
Great Video! Just to let you know, starting from May 2020, Littlehampton and Ore/Eastbourne trains no longer divided at Haywards Heath. This was because of works taking place at Gatwick Airport so to reduce delays Southern decided to stop trains dividing/attaching at Haywards Heath as it is a mainline station and delays caused by dividing and attaching trains would have an bad impact especially since there were limited platforms at Gatwick Airport, this was planned in February and would have happened anyway regardless of COVID. The Littlehampton train now runs 2tph as an 8 carriage train through to Littlehampton with extra stops at Burgess Hill and Hassocks and the Eastbourne train runs 1tph with 8 carriages and 1tph goes to Ore and Eastbourne running as an 8 carriage train until Eastbourne where 4 carriages terminate there and 4 carriages continue to Ore. The Brighton service was planned to be replaced by the Ore/Eastbourne service and customers would have to use Thameslink and Gatwick Express trains to travel from London to Brighton but because of COVID and limited demand for Gatwick Express, Southern services use GX carriages on London to Brighton semi fast services which temporarily replaces the Gatwick Express and GX carriages are used between Brighton and Ore/Hastings too. The London to Brighton Southern service was going to be scrapped on Monday to Saturday but because of COVID, Southern continues to operate to Brighton from London.
