Travellers face Easter getaway travel disruption
Roads in the south-east are expected to be among the busiest in the country over the Easter break and today is likely to be the busiest day of the holiday.
Trains subject to delay through Kent and Sussex
An amended timetable will run throughout the four days from Good Friday to Easter Monday – so we’re advising passengers to check before they travel this weekend to see how their journey might be affected.
The engineering work around London Bridge means there will be no trains to or from Charing Cross, Waterloo East and Cannon Street over the Easter bank holiday weekend, with services from Kent diverted to Blackfriars and Victoria, or terminating short. Southeastern’s Hastings services will terminate at London Bridge.
Also, there will be no trains between Faversham and Swanley on Friday and Saturday; Faversham and Sole Street on Sunday and Monday and no trains between Maidstone West and Gravesend on Sunday and Monday. Replacement bus services will be in operation to replace trains on those routes and High Speed services from Margate, Canterbury, Dover and Ashford will continue to run to St Pancras.
