Major South London rail closures to take place from Saturday 26th October to Friday 1st November 2024 - BrixtonBuzz
Description

Network Rail says that it’s modernising 1980s track and signalling on lines in the Peckham Rye, Tulse Hill and Crystal Palace areas, with the work promising a more reliable service with fewer delays.

They say that a lot of work has already been completed, with most of the new signalling equipment now installed, but to allow the new signalling to be finished, fully tested and then switched on, the following sections of the rail network will be closed from Saturday 26th October to Friday 1st November 2024:

Southern

No trains between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction via Peckham Rye Tulse Hill and Crystal Palace

No trains between London Bridge and Streatham via Tulse Hill

No trains between Streatham Hill and Sydenham via Crystal Palace

No trains between Streatham Hill and Norwood Junction via Crystal Palace

Thameslink

No trains between Herne Hill and Sutton / Wimbledon

London Overground

No trains between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction

No trains between Sydenham and Crystal Palace from Saturday 26 to Tuesday 29 October

The dates of the closure have been timed to take place at the same time as many schools in the area have their half-term break, when fewer people generally travel.

If you use these sections of the network, please plan ahead as you will need to amend your journey during the closure, and journeys will take longer.
