A rail tunnel in southeast London is closed for repairs until July 27, impacting Southeastern train services between Charlton and Blackheath, which will be rerouted. The £10 million repair project by Network Rail addresses long-standing issues, including water seepage and structural damage, with works including new drainage systems and tunnel linings. Passengers have previously faced delays totaling 1,000 minutes in the past year. The project spans several 10-week closures, with assurances that these essential repairs will enhance tunnel safety and operation.
We are carrying out the repairs over a series of 10-week closures because working in cramped and narrow tunnels is incredibly difficult.
These essential repairs will improve the safety and operation of the tunnel, and will reduce delays, speed limits, and increase dependability.
