The train strike may be off, but planned engineering works are still disrupting journeys with Southeastern this bank holiday Monday (May 25).
The ‘major engineering work’ is part of a Thameslink programme, to improve signalling equipment in east Kent.
Charing Cross, Cannon Street and Waterloo East stations are all closed today, for the third consecutive day.
Due to engineering works there are no @Se_Railway services from CHX this Bank Hol #CheckBeforeYouTravel #maybank http://t.co/MLC8DDNqyc
