August bank holiday weekend train disruption - Londoners warned to plan ahead
Londoners have been warned to plan their bank holiday weekends ahead as Network Rail completes work on the railway over the August bank holiday weekend. Network Rail has advised that the vast majority of its network will remain open over the August bank holiday weekend, with engineering works being planned to keep journeys running smoothly. Stations affected by the works include London King's Cross, which will see no long-distance services running between the station and Peterborough on Sunday, August 24. Network Rail has advised that buses will be in place between Peterborough and Bedford for onward travel. READ MORE: The West London borough where Lime bikes will be axed READ MORE: London's over-60s free bus and train travel change plan as DfT responds London Victoria is also due to be affected due to re-signalling works in the Lewisham area. This means there will be no Southeastern services between London Victoria and Dartford on Sunday, August 24, and Monday, August 25. Rail replacement buses will be in place between New Cross and Dartford via Bexleyheath, and tickets will be accepted between Bank and Lewisham. The works will see £79.3million being spent to deliver essential upgrades within 261 projects across the country. The transport body said the investment will improve train performance and support a more reliable railway for passengers and freight customers. Helen Hamlin, Network Rail's chief network operator, said: "With the August bank holiday weekend approaching, we've carefully planned our engineering work to minimise disruption, allowing people to rely on the railway and make the most of the late summer bank holiday weekend. "While the vast majority of the railway will be running, works on some parts of the network are unfortunately unavoidable, as we complete major work to support a better, more reliable railway that we wouldn't be able to complete in a normal weekend. So, we're asking passengers to check their journeys in advance to ensure their route isn't affected.' Passengers travelling over the bank holiday weekend can check their journeys in advance at or with their train operator. London King's Cross and Peterborough: As part of works for the East Coast Digital Programme, and maintenance works between Peterborough and Potters Bar, there will be no long-distance services between London King's Cross and Peterborough on Sunday 24 August. Buses will be in place between Peterborough and Bedford for onward travel. London Victoria and Dartford: Due to re-signalling work in the Lewisham area, there will be no Southeastern services from London Victoria to Dartford on Sunday, 24 and Monday, 25 August. Rail replacement buses will be in place between New Cross and Dartford via Bexleyheath, and ticket acceptance will be in place between Bank and Lewisham. Got a story?

Kent and Sussex rail lines to close for half-term
Two of the South East's main railway lines are to be shut for nine days in the autumn. The Tunbridge Wells to Hastings and Bexhill to Hastings lines will have no rail services between 25 October and 2 November, with buses replacing trains. The shutdown is so Network Rail can carry out repairs on the track and tunnels. The work has been timed to coincide with schools' half-term, and will affect trains run by Southeastern and Southern. Brickwork will be repaired and drains upgraded in the Bo Peep and Hastings tunnels, while a kilometre (0.6 of a mile) of rails, sleepers and ballast will be replaced between Etchingham and Mountfield. More modern rails and signalling equipment is to be installed at Frant and Wadhurst, where embankments will also be strengthened. West St Leonards station footbridge will be refurbished and vegetation cut back along several lines. Southern will be operating a shuttle rail service between Hastings and Ashford, while on the weekends of 11 and 12 October and 18 and 19 October buses will replace trains between Bexhill and Ashford. David Davidson, chief operating officer for the South Eastern Railway, said: "We know that closures are disruptive, and we're doing everything we can to keep people moving with replacement buses and clear travel information. "Getting work done over consecutive days allow us to do more work, more efficiently. "We've invested significantly in the Hastings line in recent years to address challenges that go back to the line's construction over 170 years ago." Jenny Saunders, Southern's customer service director, said: "The line between Eastbourne and Ashford provides important connectivity for the towns along its route, and these works will help ensure the infrastructure stays reliable for years to come. "There is never a good time to close the railway, but we will have plenty of staff, and buses, to help passengers complete their journey."
