Short term autumn timetable changes

Short term amended timetable

You wouldn’t think the humble leaf could cause so much trouble. 50 million leaves fall onto our tracks each autumn. When mixed with rain and compressed under train wheels, they form a thin layer which can be as treacherous and slippery as black ice.

On days when it's forecast that our trains will have less grip on the tracks because of weather conditions and leaf fall, we may need to make some changes to our timetable to give our drivers more time to drive the trains safely.

Visit our autumn page to find out the other ways that we prepare.

Times are changing

This autumn, on days when it's forecast that our trains will have less grip on the tracks needing more time for their journey, we may need to run an amended timetable for a few of our Off-Peak metro services.

We'll let you know about the amended timetable on our website, on Twitter/X and at the station, and you can check your journey via journey planner, National Rail, or the Southeastern app. You can follow us on Twitter/X for updates @SE_Railway #SEautumn.
