Passengers planning to travel to central London during the first May Bank Holiday from some parts of Kent and South East London are being encouraged to check before they travel as Network Rail continues its improvement work across the region.

The ghostly remains of a long-lost South London railway station – closed 100 years ago - have been uncovered by engineers constructing the Bermondsey Dive Under, as part of the Thameslink Programme.

Members of the public are invited to attend a drop-in event to find out more about Network Rail’s plans to replace Ufton Nervet level crossing with a bridge.

Network Rail has apologised for delays to Southeastern passengers using services through London Bridge this morning, after a series of unrelated signal problems in the area during the rush hour.

We apologise to passengers for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the signalling issues in the Thames Valley area this week. It is not the level of service we wish to provide nor is it the level of service that passengers expect and deserve.

Passengers returning to work through London Bridge, Charing Cross, Waterloo East and Cannon Street railway stations today (Tuesday) are being thanked for their patience after four days of intense work affected journeys over Easter.

Network Rail’s major improvement work over the Easter weekend was completed on time today, Tuesday 7 April, enabling passengers who travel on the Western route to London Paddington from the west, south west and Thames Valley to benefit from faster journeys, greater reliability and a better travelling experience.

People from Aspley Guise and surrounding villages including Woburn Sands, Ridgemont and Lidlington will have the opportunity to give their views on how railway crossing safety can be improved in their area by attending two public consultation events.
