Easter Weekend travel

Engineering work over Easter

Most of our lines are open during the Easter weekend but Network Rail is carrying out engineering work on some parts of our route. You can find out more details on our planned engineering work page.

There are no trains into London Victoria over Easter and Brixton station will be closed.

Buses will replace trains between Canterbury West and Ramsgate so that embankment repairs can be carried out.

Lewisham station is also closing on Sunday and Monday for re-signalling work.
