Network Rail: Engineering work dates and how to get around London – Yahoo News Australia

Charing Cross and Waterloo East railway stations will be closed every weekend in August, compromising journeys into south London, Kent, and the south-east.
The mainline stations, which are used by South Eastern, are now one weekend into the shutdown —which is happening because of engineering works.
There are set to be three more weekends of disruption. The bank holiday Monday in August will be affected, as will the first weekend of September.
David Davidson, Network Rail’s Kent route director, said: “This vital work will bring tangible benefits for passengers when complete and we’d like to thank passengers for their patience while we undertake these works.”
The disruption is occurring due to engineering works to improve the lines in and around Waterloo East and Charing Cross.
London Bridge, which is slightly to the south, will not be closed.
Network Rail has said buses will run between Lewisham and Greenwich, and will call at St Johns and New Cross — where a junction is being built.
No trains will run to or from London Charing Cross or Waterloo East on Saturday or Sunday, and no trains will run to or from London Cannon Street on Sunday.
The majority of services will instead terminate at London Bridge or Victoria. For full details of the closures, visit: www.nationalrail.co.uk/status-and-disruptions/.
National Rail states you can use the London Underground between Victoria, Charing Cross, Embankment, Waterloo, Southwark, London Bridge, Cannon Street, Blackfriars, and Elephant & Castle at no extra cost.
You can use Docklands Light Railway at no extra cost between Lewisham and Greenwich.

“Please be advised that, on occasion, replacement vehicles may be busier than usual, and you should allow extra time for your journey,” Network Rail added.
