== Simulation ==
The simulation depicts approximately a 16 mile (26 kilometre) section of this busy line from Arundel Junction near Littlehampton to Aldrington near Brighton & Hove in early 2023. During this time the section between Portslade and Angmering is controlled from the Lancing Signal Box panel, beside Lancing station. The box has been active since resignalling took place in 1988, making the neighbouring signal boxes at Portslade, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Worthing, Goring-by-Sea and Angmering redundant. The line runs parallel to the south coast and is fairly straight, with a continuous speed limit of 70mph (113kmh).

Southern operates services along the line, which include those between Brighton and Worthing, Littlehampton, Bognor Regis, Portsmouth, and longer-distance services to London Victoria. There are also some additional peak time services to and from London Bridge and Littlehampton, operated by Thameslink. The included timetable simulates services on a Monday in January 2023 and includes all services between 5:00am and 1:00am the following morning.
