Major changes to trains in South London this Christmas


These changes will take place from 1pm on Christmas Eve to 3 January 2016 (10 days). The work is part of the Thameslink Programme, which will be making major changes to the tracks and signalling at London Bridge. They will also be bringing a new viaduct at Borough into.


As a result, from 8pm on Christmas Eve, there will be NO Southeastern trains from Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Waterloo East and London Bridge, with services diverted to and from Victoria, Blackfriars and New Cross. There will be other stations on the network that may not have trains during this period, tickets will be accepted on alternative routes and rail replacement buses will be in operation.


Also, there will be no trains between South Croydon and Redhill, and the Gatwick Express service will be suspended. There will be some diverted train services and bus replacements to help passengers complete their journeys.


Passengers can check www.nationalrail.co.uk/christmas before they travel, or visit their train operator's website for more information.

London Bridge is closed for Southern on Boxing Day, otherwise is open for our trains.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
