Chichester platform 2 will be closed until about August 2019, due to signalling constraints in place while building work on the new South Shields interchange takes place.

Anyone wishing to leave the train at Chichester after travelling from South Shields should stay on the train to Tyne Dock, change platforms and return to Chichester platform 1.
