The FFC trains have been disrupted by the work at London Bridge - is that a contributory factor?
New timetable, similar to those using Portslade who are now seen as 3rd class travelers. Previously both the xx17 and xx47 from Victoria stopped at Portslade.
However due to the fact that travellers further down the line towards Littlehampton wanted quicker traveling times, it was decided to only allow one train an hour from Victoria stop at Portslade.
So despite the fact that travel times from Portslade to London are already slower than they were when the rail network was under the control of British rail, travelers from Portslade are not seen worthy of meriting faster trains, but those from Worthing, Littlehampton are.
The connection at Hove wont be a guaranteed one, so if running late, tough. Still all this is worth the extra in fares now being charged.
There would be too many old people trying to use ONE station ?why does the Worthing area need FIVE stations?

What do people expect?
Rail privatisation was bought upon us by the same wonderful people sold off local authority housing,happy ****ing days.
I have no doubt that what is being stated is legitimate, however raising the issue on NSC will not, I suspect, achieve much.
If you haven't already, try googling 'train ombudsman' and you will gets results such as

I'm not guaranteeing you will have anymore success using these, however they must provide a better chance.
There are far too many stations along that line, Portslade makes sense but Aldrington and Fishersgate are completely pointless and why does the Worthing area need FIVE stations?

Never hear our self-appointed defenders of British interests and the British people complain about this, though (would UKIP bring the railways back under British control?)!
But mainline trains don't stop at every station along the coast. Not all stop at Durrington, few stop at East Worthing. I'm assuming your including Goring as Worthing as well?
