Notes:
The letter 'z' in the timings indicated a specific 'stop for use of station toilets' (at Dorking and Haywards Heath...other toilet opportunities were available at other stopping locations!).

The delay at Barnham was due to the signalling being disconnected & all trains were hand signalled to & from Bognor Regis.
