Southern Railway is part of the British rail network serving stations predominantly between central London and the British south coast. Destinations include Brighton, Gatwick Airport, and Worthing. Its main London terminals are London Bridge and London Victoria stations, with many Southern Railway services also calling at Clapham Junction.
Southern Railway trains consist of between two and 12 carriages, dependent on the popularity of the route. Some routes are especially popular for commuters, meaning there may be standing room only at rush hour unless you purchase a first-class ticket. The first-class seats are in dedicated areas, separated from standard seating by glass partition doors for a quieter ride. Regardless of your type of ticket, WiFi and accessible restrooms are available on most trains.
To get the cheapest tickets on Southern Railway routes, book with Wanderu at least 24 hours in advance. As an official partner of Southern Railway since 2018, Wanderu provides scheduling, pricing, and trip information in one convenient place at the lowest price.
