Major rail upgrades in s London till 2025

[rollflick]

In case you were thinking of going back to the office next year by train...

"We?re working on a major four-year package of upgrades to modernise 1980s track and signalling on the lines into London Victoria station.

The first phase of work, to take place at weekends between London Victoria, Clapham Junction and Balham, and the West London Lines from Clapham to Shepherds Bush, got full underway in 2021 and will continue until after Christmas 2022.

Upgrades between Tulse Hill, Peckham Rye and Crystal Palace, and between Herne Hill, Nunhead, and the Battersea area will follow between 2022 and 2025."

Includes helpful diagram: although ED doesn't have trains running into Victoria, it is in phase 4. There's also big plans to unblock the lines around East Croydon maybe starting before these works finish.

I wouldn't be surprised if the work was to continue to 2030 🤓
