Saturday 24th/Sunday 25th August/Monday 26th (Bank Holiday)
Forest Hill/Honor Oak Park: No service on Southern all weekend.
London Overground will operate a special service on Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday. ALL trains to West Croydon will operate every 7-8 minutes as they've been able to use the slots used by Southern as they won't be running due to engineering works at Crystal Palace. Trains to Highbury & Islington run normally.
Sunday a reduced service every 15 minutes will operate to and from West Croydon with no service to Crystal Palace.
Catford Bridge/Lower Sydenham: Normal service over the weekend with a Saturday service on Monday.
Crofton Park/Catford: Replacement buses between Herne Hill and Bromley South throughout.

A small correction to the Overground changes next weekend.
The extra trains run on Saturday to West Croydon are six trains per hour in both directions, so a slight reduction in service to every 8-15 minutes depending on the time.
Sunday AND Monday will be every 15 minutes to and from West Croydon only.

From Tuesday 27th August to Sunday 1st September, Southern services will operate between London Bridge and Crystal Palace only.
Southern aren't offering replacement buses to connect to Streatham Hill either which connect with services to Victoria either, so use alternative routes such as the 185 bus or use the Overground/Tube instead.

Four trains per hour are coming back to London Bridge in the peaks only from 16th December.
Trains to London Bridge will start from Norwood Junction or Victoria in the morning peak and return services will go to Sutton or Victoria.
To London Bridge, trains will be every 15 minutes from 0727 until 0927 with services operating at x13, x27, x43 and x57 past each hour.
After 0927, trains operate every 30 minutes to London Bridge at x27 and x57 past each hour.
From London Bridge, trains will depart at 1658 to Victoria, 1710 to Sutton, 1728 to Victoria, 1740 to Sutton and 1758 to Victoria. After 6pm it reverts to x28 and x58.

That is rather pathetic. Particularly the 6pm cut off. Lots of people don't even leave work until then.

Totally agree!
So we'll still have packed overground trains and platforms coming home on the Canada water interchange-
They could at least run them until 7.30pm
