It is the second Bexleyheath story of the day, after buses were brought in to replace late-night trains on the Bexleyheath line from Wednesday to Friday this week. From Wednesday to Friday, from 12.10am until the end of service, accessible buses will replace trains between Lewisham and Dartford via Bexleyheath, with trains diverted to run via Sidcup.
