Thank-you!
I'm relieved I was off this weekend reading this.
I thought of you as I wondered if you were commuting this weekend, but I didn't realise the Jubilee was shut until I checked on Saturday.

Our trains will operate normally on the 15th, although Canada Water and Whitechapel might be closed due to staff shortages with trains running through those stations.
The RMT strike is on the 16th, the day after.

Strike action on 15th and 16th March.
London Underground will have next to nothing on Wednesday, station closures of those managed by LU such as Canada Water, Whitechapel and Highbury & Islington may close at short notice due to staff shortages.
Elizabeth line will only operate in the core section between Paddington and Abbey Wood between 0730-2230. Again this is due to most stations being managed by London Underground.
On Thursday, despite RMT Network Rail workers not striking, there will be some drivers who work for the train operating companies who will be on strike on Thursday.
Forest Hill/Honor Oak Park: Normal service on London Overground, no service on Southern.
Catford Bridge/Lower Sydenham: No service (Use Lewisham station or Forest Hill instead)
Crofton Park/Catford: A limited service will operate on Thameslink. First train to Blackfriars at 0808, first to Sevenoaks at 0737. Last train from Blackfriars at 1746.
Friday morning will see a late start for most stations.
Forest Hill/Honor Oak Park: Normal start on London Overground. First Southern services are the 0812 to Victoria and 0828 to London Bridge then as normal. (Deduct 2 mins for HOP).
Catford Bridge/Lower Sydenham: First train to Charing Cross at 0820 from Catford Bridge.
Crofton Park/Catford. First trains are the 0732 to Luton and 0811 to Victoria, the latter operated by Southeastern.

Saturday 18th March/Sunday 19th March.
Forest Hill/Honor Oak Park. No services at all on Saturday with no replacement bus service from those two stations. This is due to engineering works and Southern having industrial action. There is a bus service on both days from New Cross Gate to Dalston Kingsland. On Sunday, Southern will be operating between London Bridge and Victoria with no Overground services at all.
Catford Bridge/Catford: No service on Saturday with no replacement bus service, a normal service will operate on Sunday with the first train at 0750 to Charing Cross.
Crofton Park/Catford: A limited service will operate on Saturday between Victoria and Sevenoaks. First train to Victoria is at 0808, last train from Victoria at 1747. Sunday will see trains diverted to Victoria operating all day.
