It’s the first week of March, spring is slowly starting to rear its head and it’s finally still light outside when we leave the office. Alas, one thing that remains the same — as always, commuters need to keep an eye out for train cancellations and disruptions. 

Much of the time, tube and rail disruptions happen unexpectedly. But there are some that rail operators are able to warn us about in advance. We’ve found all planned train timetable changes across London this week, so you can plan ahead as much as possible.

For Friday to Sunday info, come back on Thursday to check our weekend guide, but for now, here are all the disruptions and cancellations you need to know about.

Overground 

Weaver 

From Monday to Thursday, the Weaver line will be shut between Hackney Downs and Enfield Town and Cheshunt after 10.45pm. 

National Rail

Elizabeth line

There’s engineering work happening between London Paddington and Heathrow/ Reading from Monday evening to Friday morning. 

That means that from 10pm to 5am each night, there will be reduced services between Abbey Wood and Heathrow Terminal 4, Ealing Broadway, Southall and Hayes and Harlington, West Drayton, Langley, Slough, Burnham, Maidenhead and Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminals 2 and 3. 

During that time Elizabeth line services between Abbey Wood and Maidenhead will run between Abbey Wood and Paddington only.  

Southern

Engineering work is going to affect Southern services from London Bridge this week. On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, the 11.58pm from London Bridge to Streatham Hill train won’t run and there’ll be a replacement bus instead. 

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, the 12.35am London Bridge to East Croydon train will be diverted and will only call at Norwood Junction. 

Then, on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the 12.17am London Bridge to Caterham will be diverted, calling at Norwood Junction and terminating at East Croydon. You can catch a replacement bus from East Croydon to Caterham. The Purley to Tattenham Corner service at 12.18am will be replaced with a bus.
