Train Service Updates

See if there is any service disruption on the Southern network, check live departures and arrivals from any station or find out about any alternative routes during unplanned disruption.

There are a number of major events taking place in London this Saturday, with road closures, diversionary routes, and some London Underground station closures.

We are expecting our stations and trains to be much busier than usual, so please plan ahead and leave plenty of time to reach your destination if you are travelling into, or across, central London.

You can view the National Rail Enquiries travel advice video for Saturday 16 May here.

Strike action is taking place by some London Underground drivers from Tuesday 19 to Friday 22 May.

Severe disruption is expected on the Underground network across all four days:
- On Tuesday and Thursday, there will be significant disruption on all Underground lines from midday onwards, with services expected to finish by 21:00
- On Wednesday and Friday, there will be significant disruption each morning until around lunchtime, with disruption likely into the late afternoon.
London Overground, the Elizabeth Line and DLR are not affected by the strike action but will be busier than normal.

This strike action will not impact our services with our trains expected to call at all stations as planned. However, our stations and trains in and around London will be exceptionally busy, so be prepared and allow extra time. If possible, consider travelling outside of the busiest peak times for a more comfortable journey.

For information about impacts to Underground services, please visit tfl.gov.uk
