A reduced service will operate between London Waterloo and Clapham Junction over the Easter Weekend, Friday 3 to Monday 6 April, while engineers carry out vital engineering work.<\/p>\n

Engineers will replace track at London Waterloo used by trains that run towards Reading, Weybridge via Staines, and Windsor & Eton Riverside. Trains for these destinations will start and finish their journeys at Clapham Junction.<\/p>\n

Train services towards Woking and Basingstoke will continue to run, although passengers are advised to check before they travel, as other engineering work is taking place in the Eastleigh and Honiton areas.<\/p>\n

Engineers will replace switches and crossings, parts of the railway that allow trains to change track, just outside the entrance to platforms 20 to 24 at London Waterloo.<\/p>\n

Teams will also carry out strengthening and refurbishment works on the railway bridge over Lambeth Road.<\/p>\n

Engineers will also be installing scaffold crash deck to underside of footbridge on platforms 3-6 at Clapham Junction so that we can continue work on the footbridge from beneath whilst trains are running. This is part of a longer-term project to upgrade the busy walkway, used by thousands of passengers every day.<\/p>\n

On Friday 3, Saturday 4, and Monday 6 April the following services will start and finish their journeys at Clapham Junction:<\/p>\n
