Extensive rail closures coming soon to London Overground, Thameslink and Southern
Network Rail are set to undertake major signalling and track work later this month which will see some lines across south London close for almost a week.
Services will be affected across Southern, London Overground and Thameslink.
No services will operate from Saturday 26th October until Friday 1st November along these stretches of the Southern network:
- London Bridge and Beckenham Junction via Peckham Rye Tulse Hill and Crystal Palace
- London Bridge and Streatham via Tulse Hill
- Streatham Hill and Sydenham via Crystal Palace
- Streatham Hill and Norwood Junction via Crystal Palace
London Overground will see no services between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction during that time while they’ll be no trains between Sydenham and Crystal Palace from Saturday 26th to Tuesday 29th October.
Thameslink sees no services between Herne Hill and Sutton / Wimbledon.
Timing has been arranged for half term when passenger numbers are lighter, though the extensive nature of work will hit many.
Network Rail have a page explaining the work across south London.
Track and signalling dating from the 1980s is being replaced with work set to continue until 2025.
