Service Updates

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.

Strike action is taking place by some London Underground drivers on Tuesday 2 and Thursday 4 June.

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.

On the Underground, a service is expected on most lines, however, there will be disruption to journeys and service levels will vary across the Tube network. Services that do run are expected to start late and finish early.

During these strikes, buses, DLR, Elizabeth line, London Overground and trams will be running as normal but are expected to be busy. Some disruption is expected during the early mornings on Wednesday 3 and Friday 5 June, as Tube services return to normal.

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

Last updated: 28/05/2026 10:16
The Epsom Derby will be taking place on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June and our trains and stations in the area are expected to be extremely busy.

In order to provide a safe and efficient service for the event, we will be operating an amended timetable on Saturday 6 June.
You are advised to purchase advance tickets, or use contactless, to avoid queues at the station. Plan ahead and check your journey at National Rail.
