On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Lewisham station will be closed except for the DLR station for essential engineering works.

If you're planning to use Southeastern services from Lewisham tomorrow to beat the strike, use the DLR instead. Greenwich station will be open instead for Southeastern services to London Bridge and Cannon Street.

Presumably the lack of Southern services at weekends is tied in with the work at Victoria? Or is it something else? Is there a risk that Southern on this line becomes weekday only?

Yes it's all due to the Victoria works, which leads to their trains being diverted into London Bridge, so we lose our platform slots.

Saturday 28th January:

Southern: Two early morning trains to London Bridge at 0558 and 0628 and two late night services from London Bridge at 0020 and 0035. A replacement bus service operates from Victoria at 2356 arriving at 0128. Use the 185 bus instead. Otherwise no service.

London Overground: Normal service.

Southeastern (Hayes): Normal service but trains will all operate via Lewisham rather than fast from Ladywell to London Bridge.

Thameslink (Catford/Crofton Park): Normal service between Blackfriars and Sevenoaks.

Sunday 29th January:

Southern: No service.

London Overground: Normal service.

Southeastern: Normal service.

Thameslink: Normal service.

STRIKE SERVICES FOR 1ST/3RD FEB:

Southern: No service.

London Overground: Normal weekday service. (ASLEF settled their dispute with Arriva Rail London, the operator of London Overground)

Southeastern: No service.

Thameslink: No service.

First trains on Southern, Thameslink and Southeastern may be later than timetabled on Thursday 2nd February.

That's interesting to read the Overground will be operating a normal weekday service on the strike days now. What were the conditions that gave rise to the strange compromise where the Overground ran a more infrequent service, which terminated at around 6pm, on strike days?

The latest strikes are ASLEF drivers only, so RMT signallers will still be at work

During RMT strikes, the Overground service ends around 6pm to allow trains to be stabled before signalling cover ends.

Got it - thanks.

thank you for your invaluable updates
