Plans for a new London Overground station at Surrey Canal Road have moved forward a bit after Lewisham Council approved additional funding to get the station built. The station on the Overground's Windrush line would serve the local area and a new housing development being built around the Millwall football ground. Although not included when the Overground was extended to Clapham Junction, passive provision was left to ensure the station could be added later.

With everything going on across the city, Londoners will be glad to know that planned train disruption this weekend is fairly minimal (though there may be some unpredictable disruptions). While a number of stations around Notting Hill will be partly closed for the carnival (more on that below), there are no cancellations or reduced services scheduled along any of the London Underground lines - just a few on the Overground lines.

From Monday to Thursday, late night services on the Weaver line will cease after 10.45pm, affecting travel between Hackney Downs and Cheshunt/Enfield Town.
