Michael has\u00a0warned constituents of line closures on rail networks to London over the bank holiday next week and has encouraged them to \u2018work out [their] Plan B\u2019.<\/p>\n
From 26 August to 2 September, there will be no Southeastern services at London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross.\u00a0 This means there will be fewer trains into London and they may be diverted to different London stations.<\/p>\n
The disruption will be caused by improvement work at London Bridge station and track upgrades, which is designed to improve station space, reduce future delays, improve connections, and facilitate more frequent journeys.<\/p>\n
To assist passengers, the Thameslink Programme communications team has developed a campaign microsite, which details station by station the planned changes during the blockade, what this means for passenger journeys, detailed travel advice and customer information resources.\u00a0 The site is accessible via the following link: http:\/\/www.thameslinkprogramme.co.uk\/2017-disruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a post<\/a>\u00a0on his new Facebook page<\/a>, Michael Fallon said: \u2018These closures hit at a time when people are already back from holiday.\u00a0 So whether it\u2019s changing the time you travel, finding another route, cycling to work, or working from home, you will need to work out your Plan B.\u00a0 I encourage everyone to visit the Thameslink Programme microsite<\/a> and start thinking ahead.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael has\u00a0warned constituents of line closures on rail networks to London over the bank holiday next week and has encouraged them to \u2018work out [their] Plan B\u2019.
