Lewisham (Parliament Politics Magazine) – Train stations across Lewisham and Bromley will be closed this weekend due to planned engineering works, with services cancelled or replaced by buses.
Trains will be impacted by the engineering work on Sunday, August 10.
Trains on Saturday, August 9, will operate normally.
August 10th, Sunday:
Between Brixton and Shortlands, engineering is being done to close lines via Herne Hill and Beckenham Junction in Lewisham.
In addition to making extra stops at Denmark Hill, trains between London Victoria and Orpington will now run uninterrupted between Denmark Hill and Shortlands.
All day, Brixton station will be closed.
After Bromley South, trains from London Victoria to Ashford International via Maidstone East will depart up to twelve minutes later than normal.
After Rochester, trains from London Victoria to Ramsgate via Faversham will depart up to two minutes delayed.
Denmark Hill and Bromley South will be served by replacement buses, which will stop at every station via Beckenham Junction with the exception of Brixton.
Between London Victoria and Brixton, passengers can take the London Underground for free.
Only replacement buses will be able to reach the following stations, which will be closed all day:
- Herne Hill
- West Dulwich
- Sydenham Hill
- Penge East
- Kent House
- Beckenham Junction
How will the engineering work impact usual travel options at Lewisham and Bromley?
At Lewisham, several key lines will be partially or fully closed. Trains on the Bexleyheath Line between London Victoria and Dartford will be diverted via Sidcup, meaning they will not stop at Lewisham.
Services on the Hayes, Sidcup, and Grove Park Lines that normally serve Lewisham will also be suspended or rerouted. As a result, no trains will stop at Lewisham on affected routes during the works.
Passengers at Lewisham are advised to use accessible replacement buses running between Lewisham and Orpington, as well as between Lewisham and Sidcup. Other alternatives include the Docklands Light Railway between Lewisham and Greenwich, plus multiple London bus routes.
