NO TRAINS TO VICTORIA
Because of engineering work in the Victoria area, from today until 2 January 2023 there will be no services to or from London Victoria. Trains that usually run to or from London Victoria will be amended to run to or from London Bridge instead. Trains that usually run to or from London Bridge will run to an amended festive timetable in order to accommodate the diverted services.

There will be no Gatwick Express trains running so you are advised to use Southern or Thameslink services to London Bridge
