I had intended to travel aboard 377428 all the way to Barnham in order to change there for Littlehampton. Unfortunately, a signalling failure forced a change of plans with the 16.00 Brighton to Portsmouth Harbour service held for some time at its first stop, Hove. Indeed, such was its delay that the 1S28 Southern service was cancelled completely at Chichester. Prior to a slightly late departure from Brighton, the dispatcher waits for the driver to arrive, set his train up and depart from platform one.
