Overrunning engineering works between Norwood Junction and London Bridge means trains running between these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 20 minutes.

Disruption is expected until 06:00.

Customer Advice

Please allow an extra 20 minutes for your journey, and check station screens and planners for the latest information.

There will be disruption to early morning services between Norwood Junction and London Victoria, and Norwood Junction and London Bridge via Tulse Hill, with some services cancelled and some delayed and possibly revised.

We are hoping the works will be completed before the start of service, but we wanted to let you know ahead of time in case of possible disruption. We will update you with ticket acceptance and journey alternatives in due course if needed.

Can you tell me more about the incident?

Engineering works are taking longer than planned in the Tulse Hill area, meaning some of the lines are closed. We're working to monitor progress updates and ensure the railway is fully reopened as soon as possible.

Network Rail are responsible for railway engineering works. These are designed to maintain and improve the infrastructure, and this can include the track itself, the signals, or the points at junctions. Staff will also routinely attend to trees and vegetation by the track, station platforms, electrical supplies and many other parts of the railway.

Most engineering works take place overnight or at weekends, keeping disruption to a minimum. In this case, because the works are taking longer than usual to complete, there will need to be some delays and service changes to the daytime train service. This is because we now have much more limited capacity for trains in this area, and the timetable needs to be reduced to prevent congestion.
