BUSES will replace trains between Petersfield and Guildford for much of the coming weekend, due to engineering work at Sheet level crossing.

The work means the crossing on School Lane will also be closed to vehicles from 11pm this Saturday to 5.30am the following Monday.

Nearby residents should expect some noise and disturbance as the work will involve the temporary removal of the crossing and digging out of ballast.

Buses will run between Guildford, Haslemere and Petersfield all day on Sunday while a revised train service will run between Petersfield railway station and Portsmouth Harbour on the day.
