Rail passengers traveling through south London should prepare for significant disruptions as major upgrades to the signalling system will result in a week-long closure of key routes. Beginning October 26 and extending through November 1, the closure affects several lines, including portions of the London Overground and Thameslink services. Passengers are advised to seek alternatives, such as buses or different rail routes, to navigate their travel during this busy half-term period.
This £400 million investment aims to improve the railway network significantly, as demonstrated by previous upgrades. For instance, similar works implemented between East Croydon and London Victoria in 2022 succeeded in reducing signalling delays significantly, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of the rail services. Passengers who faced delays previously can expect improvements in their future journeys, even if the upcoming half-term closure causes temporary inconvenience.
