Visitors coming to Greenwich will have to contend with a lack of trains for the second Sunday in a row this weekend, with no Docklands Light Railway or National Rail service all day.
The DLR closure comes just seven days after the line through Greenwich was shut for maintenance works for all three days of the bank holiday weekend, coinciding with a Network Rail closure on the Sunday.
No trains will run on the Docklands Light Railway between Bank or Tower Gateway and Lewisham or Canning Town on either Saturday or Sunday so long-delayed new trains can be tested on the line.
A similar shutdown will also take place between Canary Wharf and Stratford.
South of the river, replacement buses will run between Canada Water and Lewisham via Greenwich.
National Rail services through Greenwich will be affected by works all weekend. There will be just three trains per hour on Saturday because of engineering work on the Thameslink route north of London. Thameslink trains will only run every 60 minutes between London Bridge and Rainham.
On Sunday, no trains at all will run because of work between New Cross and London Bridge, with replacement buses between Lewisham and Charlton. Just two Southeastern Metro trains an hour will run on the line through Woolwich Arsenal and Charlton, running to Charing Cross via Blackheath and Lewisham.
Trains on the Bexleyheath line will also be hit by the work, with Kidbrooke and Eltham stations only getting two trains an hour to Victoria on Sunday.
Other routes in the area will run normally. Normal services will run on the Jubilee line and the Elizabeth Line. A near-normal service will also run on the Windrush Line, but with Clapham Junction trains diverted to Battersea Park before 10.15am.
Another DLR closure through Greenwich is scheduled for the weekend of June 7 and 8.
