Seven stations in south-east London will close to trains on Sunday, 15 November, as engineering works shut two Southeastern routes for the day.
Hither Green, Grove Park, Elmstead Woods, Chislehurst, Lee, Mottingham and New Eltham will all be closed to trains, with replacement buses running instead.
The closure will also mean no trains between London Charing Cross and Sevenoaks on the Grove Park line. On the Sidcup line, trains between London Charing Cross and Dartford via Sidcup will run only between Sidcup and Dartford, while services between London Charing Cross and Gravesend via Sidcup will not run at all.
The seven stations sit across Lewisham, Bromley and Greenwich, and the works will affect a wide sweep of south-east London. Hither Green, Grove Park and Lee are in Lewisham; Elmstead Woods, Chislehurst and Mottingham are in Bromley; New Eltham is in Greenwich.
Accessible replacement buses will run between Lewisham and Sidcup and between Lewisham and Orpington, giving passengers step-free alternatives while the lines are closed.
Passengers using Southeastern services through south-east London are being urged to check their journeys before travelling and to allow extra time while the closures are in place.
The works are part of the regular programme of Sunday engineering on the network, when lines are closed so that track, signalling and other infrastructure can be maintained and upgraded. Weekend closures of this kind are a familiar part of travelling in south-east London, but a seven-station closure is a significant one, and passengers heading to central London on Sunday will need to plan around it.
Anyone travelling from the affected stations should check the Southeastern or National Rail journey planner before setting out, as replacement bus times will not match the normal train timetable and journeys are likely to take longer than usual.
The disruption comes on a weekend when other parts of the network are also seeing works. Passengers planning journeys across London this weekend should check before they travel, as weekend closures are scheduled on other lines too.
Normal services are expected to resume on Monday morning.
