Southern cuts Victoria trains short at East Croydon for Sunday engineering work
Lines around Streatham and East Croydon close on Sunday 11 October, with diversions and extra stopping trains via West Croydon.
Key facts
- Engineering work closes lines around Streatham and East Croydon on Sunday 11 October
- Victoria trains to Sutton and Epsom Downs go no further than East Croydon all day
- Southern runs no trains on its Victoria to London Bridge route
- Reigate trains shuttle to Redhill only, where London passengers must change
Engineering work will close lines around Streatham and East Croydon on Sunday 11 October, and a series of Southern services will change as a result. Some trains are diverted or cancelled, while extra trains run on other routes to fill the gaps.
The changes affect journeys from London Victoria to stations across south London and Surrey. Passengers are being advised to check their journey before they travel and to allow more time.
Southern changes from Victoria on Sunday 11 October
Between roughly 1am and 7am, Brighton and Three Bridges trains leaving Victoria will take a different route between Clapham Junction and East Croydon. They will run to an amended timetable, and the journey will be slower.
All day, the usual Victoria services to Sutton and Epsom Downs will go no further than East Croydon. Southern is also running no trains at all on its Victoria to London Bridge route.
To cover part of that gap, Southern is adding trains from Victoria to Epsom Downs that stop at every station. They take a longer path south by way of Streatham Hill. After Norwood Junction they continue to West Croydon, and Sutton is the last call before Epsom Downs.
Reigate and Dorking passengers
Reigate trains will only shuttle between Reigate and Redhill, so anyone heading to or from London has to change at Redhill. Passengers can switch to other Southern or Thameslink trains for the journey between London and Redhill without paying more.
Dorking services will also be diverted and run to a revised timetable, with longer journey times.
