Update: The Elizabeth Line will now be running from 10am on Sunday from Abbey Wood and Woolwich, rather than being closed all day as previously indicated by TfL.
Maintenance works will mean no Elizabeth Line services at Woolwich and Abbey Wood this Sunday morning – while separate work on lines used by Thameslink mean fewer alternative services will be available.
There will be no Elizabeth Line trains between Paddington and Abbey Wood or Stratford before 10am on Sunday, meaning no services through central London or to Canary Wharf. Services will resume after that.
Travellers hoping the national rail network will step in to help will be disappointed – work on lines between Blackfriars and London Bridge means Thameslink will only run between Plumstead and Rainham.
Only two Southeastern Metro trains per hour will link Woolwich Arsenal and Abbey Wood with central London that day, running between Cannon Street and Barnehurst. The works also mean fewer trains through Deptford, Greenwich and Charlton.
Other rail works affecting southeast London on Sunday include no Southeastern Metro trains between Lewisham and Orpington on Sunday, and no Windrush Line trains to West Croydon.
There are also no Docklands Light Railway trains between Beckton and Prince Regent all weekend. Other DLR services to Woolwich Arsenal and Lewisham will run as scheduled, although Cutty Sark station remains closed for work on new escalators.
