Journey planners are up to date with these service amendments. Please check these here before you travel today, as you may need to take a different train than planned or change trains en route. Journeys may be extended by an extra 10-20 minutes, so we would also advise that you allow some extra time.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
A set of points (moveable sections of track) in the Battersea Park area have been identified as needing Network Rail engineers to attend and carry out some maintenance work on them. The time for this has now been arranged and confirmed for between 10.30 and 13.30 today, and during this time an amended method of working will be in place through the area, which has required the train service to be amended.
