Southern passengers are being warned to plan ahead as late-night trains across south London are cancelled, diverted, or cut short this week because of engineering work.
Lines between London Bridge and Streatham Hill and Beckenham Junction will be closed from 10.30pm, affecting some of the final services of the night. Replacement buses will be brought in for passengers travelling through areas including Crystal Palace, Streatham Hill and Beckenham.
From Tuesday to Friday (10 to 13 November):
- The 10.14pm London Bridge to Beckenham Junction service will be diverted and terminate at Norwood Junction instead.
- The 10.28pm London Bridge to London Victoria service will run only between London Bridge and Streatham Hill and will not call at any intermediate stations.
- The 11.13pm Beckenham Junction to London Bridge service will not run.
- The 11.31pm London Bridge to Norwood Junction service will also be cancelled.
Rail replacement buses will run between London Bridge or Crystal Palace and Streatham Hill or Beckenham Junction. Passengers travelling late at night are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys while the engineering work takes place.
It is not the first disruption on the route this week. On Monday, trains through Beckenham were blocked after a lorry hit a railway bridge, and on Sunday Thameslink services were shut after a person was hit by a train between Peterborough and Huntingdon.
