Engineering work is taking place at Victoria Station this weekend, Saturday November 18 and Sunday November 19. There will be no Southern services to or from Victoria, and no Gatwick Express service at all.
All change: you might want to review carefully any weekend travel plans via Victoria Station
Replacement buses will run between Clapham Junction and East Croydon (via West Croydon). A few late-night and early-morning buses will be extended to run to and from London Victoria.
