alison Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If I read it correctly, there are no trains serving London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks for that Alison as I am going up today but via Victoria!! After reading all the blurb about London Bridge recently Ive decided to avoid it and the train company like the plague for most of this year! Even though it is sometimes convenient for me to use this line through to Kings Cross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Looking again, it appears that it's Saturday only, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Looks as though there may be significant travel disruption on the Southern Region this coming Sunday, so if your trains normally terminate at a station on the District Line or at London Bridge and you were planning on going to the Ann Maguire gala or elsewhere you might want to check your options. I'm hoping that tube engineering works will have been arranged so that they don't make the situation any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Additional info on the above: some Southeastern trains diverted from Victoria to Blackfriars; no service between London Bridge and Cannon Street. Whether that means the services normally terminating at Cannon Street are being rerouted to their old station of Charing Cross I haven't yet found out. Southern customers for London Bridge will presumably need to change onto the tube as there is no service between LB and Charing X (or will there suddenly be?) There may be some Thameslink trains going from Kings Cross to Blackfriars, if that's of any use to anyone going to the gala at Sadler's Wells, but that's just guesswork on my part because I believe they've all been rerouted because of the LB works as well.

alison Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 No Southeastern trains into Waterloo East/Charing Cross this weekend. If you're coming in for the RB matinee, bear in mind that it's a very early start, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm not sure, although I imagine so. I was in a hurry, or I'd have said that SE were running into Cannon Street, which I presume means they'll stop at London Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I noticed a banner headline on the Southeastern website yesterday which I think said there were no trains into Charing Cross, Waterloo East and Cannon Street this weekend. (Also, there's no Circle Line at all). To be borne in mind if you're doing the early matinee at Covent Garden, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I have a feeling it's back to normal but can't be absolutely sure....just think I've seen people going both in and out of the station more recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mallinson Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The lift renovations were completed in November but TfL give the following helpful warning "The station will still on occasion be restricted to exit-only during exceptionally busy periods." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also, there's no Circle Line at all). To be borne in mind if you're doing the early matinee at Covent Garden, for example. Yes. Trains doing weird things like stopping short at New Cross (from which you could at least get an Overground train onto the Tube network) and all sorts, apparently.

alison Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Bit late, I know, but it looks as though some Southeastern trains will be stopping short of London, at New Cross. Combine that with an extremely early start at the ROH, and ... The whole Circle Line is out, too, although I think most of the District Line is running. Didn't *notice* any work affecting the Northern Line, for those going to Sadler's Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 A reminder especially to anyone travelling to the Royal Opera House this weekend: it's the annual major cycle ride through central London, with road closures and all sorts everywhere, and I assume The Strand at least will be affected. Not to mention trains possibly being clogged up with bicycles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Please note there are no trains into Charing Cross and Waterloo East railway stations from now up to and including December 27th - bear in mind if you're trying for e.g. Nutcracker matinees later on today. Services diverted into other Southeastern stations, mainly Victoria. As if that wasn't bad enough, it looks as though Southeastern services on other routes into Victoria may be cut down to make space for the diverted trains which would normally be using Charing Cross! And then who knows whether any trains will be running on Southern ... Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 It rather looks as though Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations may be closed to services for the next few weekends, with services reduced and diverted to other termini on "Southern Region". This may in turn have a knock-on effect on other Southeastern services to the other termini, and those who normally change onto Charing Cross services at London Bridge will also be affected. All beautifully timed to coincide with the Bolshoi season at the ROH, of course, for which Charing Cross is the nearest railway station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's RideLondon this coming weekend, so there will be diversions etc. in place on the buses and roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Serious disruption/changes to (Southeastern?) services to Charing Cross and Cannon Street this weekend, I believe. Combine that with a midday start for the Royal Ballet, and that could create problems for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninamargaret Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 and watch out for Extinction Rebellion for the next two weeks. Looks as though getting around central London will be a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 And this weekend there is no service on the Circle Line, and on the District Line between Earl's Court and East Ham (among others). Add Extinction Rebellion to the mix, and it could be fun getting to the Royal Opera House and other venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
