Description of Incident
Engineering work is taking place at Sevenoaks, closing some lines.
Network Rail are carrying out additional engineering work at Sevenoaks in the morning of Sunday 30 March to remove a speed restriction. During this time, some of the lines will be blocked, and trains will be altered as shown below.
Grove Park Line: Stopping services between London Charing Cross and Sevenoaks via Grove Park will only be able to run between London Charing Cross and Orpington until approximately 09:05. This will affect trains in both directions.
Hastings Line: The 06:50, 07:31 and 07:50 Hastings to London Charing Cross train will be diverted via an alternative route and will be unable to stop at Orpington. These two trains will only run between Hastings and Sevenoaks.
Trains from London Charing Cross towards Hastings will be able to stop at Orpington normally, but the 08:45, 09:15 and 09:45 London Charing Cross to Hastings trains will start at London Bridge.
Accessible replacement buses will run between Sevenoaks and Orpington, calling at all stations.
