Three of London's mainline terminus stations have announced more dates for the Railway 200 themed heritage tours that they were running last year. The tours will run once a month from January to March next year at London Bridge, Victoria, and Waterloo stations and will be led by Network Rail and historian-author Rachel Kolksy. They will last around two hours and involve walking around each station and the surrounding areas. The tours will cost £25 per person and dates are below. London Bridge station Tickets

Detectives are warning cable thieves bringing chaos to train and Eurostar services their activities will not be tolerated, as the bill reached 12.1 million and caused over 202,000 hours of delays. British Transport Police hit out after one brazen offender, Frank Lane, 47, was jailed for brazenly stealing metal from a railway depot in broad daylight. The soaring value of raw materials such as copper means wiring used to power the network has become a multi-million pound haul for criminals.

A decision on the 1 billion scheme was expected from the City of London Corporation by the end of this year though this has been pushed back into 2026 after further details were added to the application.

The swan was trapped on Monday on the tracks over Chelsea Bridge with an injured wing. Mildmay line services were part suspended from 1.10pm to 2.30pm between Clapham Junction, one of London's busiest commuter stations, and Shepherd's Bush while Network Rail's mobile operations manager was tasked with catching the rogue swan. Following a successful rescue operation, the swan was coaxed off the tracks into a swan-rescue bag.

Network Rail is warning that the Brighton mainline railway via Gatwick Airport will be closed on Sunday 13th July for urgent repair works.

Network Rail stated that the high temperatures would make track temperatures reach about 50C (122F), leading to speed restrictions and revised timetables for train services.

Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between Lockerbie and Carstairs, all lines are blocked. Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Please check your journey.
