London Bridge will have a very restricted Southeastern service with only trains to/from Hastings serving this station. Hastings services will operate via Tonbridge, Redhill and East Croydon, and run to and from platforms 10 or 11 at London Bridge.

Engineering works are being carried out by Network Rail. Its route managing director for the south east, Dave Ward, said: “We’re investing millions of pounds to improve the railway for our passengers but to do that we will have to make some changes over Easter. There’s no good time to this work and we have to do it when the trains are less busy, outside the working week.

David Statham, Southeastern’s managing director, said: “We know this will impact many of our passengers and that is why we are urging all passengers planning to travel over Easter to check before they travel.” Visit www.nationalrail.co.uk.
