Due to engineering work taking place around Shadwell London Overground will only operate services as far north as Shadwell this weekend (so ok for interchange to/from the Jubilee line at Canada Water) at the reduced level of 4 trains an hour on Saturday and 6 trains an hour on Sunday.

Southbound services will operate at the same frequency between Shadwell and all stations to either Crystal Palace or West Croydon.

Saturday

Last Southbound service departs Shadwell @ 2356 and Canada Water @ 0002

The last Victoria - London Bridge (via Sydenham) service departing Victoria at 2356 on Saturday will be operated by a rail replacement bus service due to late night engineering work in the Victoria area.

Thank you so much-I have had 2 weeks off work and now I’m back I’m in this weekend and this info is invaluable.
You’re a star!

We must have the best maintained overground line in London…

The best maintained but least reliable!

Maybe they should just stop the maintenance and see what happens.

I’m beginning to wonder if the maintenance is the cause of the maintenance…

All the closures north of Shadwell are due to Crossrail station refurb works at Whitechapel. ONE day hopefully the station will actually be finished!

And hopefully one day you’ll also be able to cross south London by any means apart from a car!
