Buses to replace trains in South London over Easter as £89m upgrades rolled out
Buses are set to replaces trains over Easter in South London as engineers work to get £89 million of upgrades over the line. Lines will be closed between Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1. Customers are also being urged to check before they travel across in Kent and Sussex as well as the south of the capital. In the South Croydon area, Whyteleafe level crossing will be upgraded with new electrical circuits that officials say will 'extend the crossing’s life and improve performance'. Between Balham and Beckenham Junction, engineers will replace life-expired switches and crossings as well as carrying out wheel timber renewals - the sections of wood that provide extra support to the rails - and preparing the area for the installation of the new signalling system in the future. Between Brixton Junction and Denmark Hill, work to support the new signalling will be completed with the installation of a new signal gantry across the track. READ MORE: TfL Overground trains mi...
