No Southeastern train services between Kent and London Victoria this weekend due to railway engineering works
10:19, 17 February 2024
Rail passengers are facing travel disruption this weekend.
Services between London Victoria and Kent are being diverted as Network Rail looks to carry out what it calls “major improvement works”.
Trains between London Victoria and Ramsgate or Dover Priory via Chatham will run to and from Cannon Street while stopping services that go between London Victoria and Gillingham will not take place today.
Trains are also being diverted to run to and from London Blackfriars and London Charing Cross.
Meanwhile, trains between London Victoria and Ashford International via Maidstone East will run from Charing Cross and will run non-stop between London Bridge and St Mary Cray.
Passengers wishing to travel between Victoria and Orpington will instead need to use Blackfriars. This service will be calling at Elephant & Castle.
On Saturday additional trains will run between London Blackfriars and Orpington via Denmark Hill, Lewisham and Bromley South.

Meanwhile on both days additional trains will run between London Charing Cross and Slade Green via Bexleyheath because of further engineering work at Dartford.
Southeastern is offering free travel on the London Underground between Victoria, Brixton, Elephant & Castle, Blackfriars, Charing Cross, Embankment, Cannon Street, London Bridge, Southwark and Waterloo.
Passengers can also use the Thameslink line between Blackfriars, Bromley South and Sevenoaks to connect with Southeastern trains to Kent stations.
On Sunday London Bus routes P12 / 78 / 484 between Denmark Hill and Lewisham will also be free.
