Southern trains through Croydon will be cancelled or replaced by buses this weekend.
Southern train services through Croydon will face major disruptions this weekend, Saturday and Sunday (June 14–15), due to engineering work.
All lines between London Blackfriars and East Croydon or Crystal Palace via Sydenham will be closed, with no trains running on that route throughout the weekend. Instead, replacement buses will operate between London Bridge, New Cross Gate, and Crystal Palace.
Here’s a simplified breakdown of the affected routes:

- Services between London Victoria and London Bridge will only run between London Victoria and Crystal Palace.
- Trains will still run between London Victoria and Sutton or Epsom Downs
- On Saturday only, trains between East Croydon and Watford Junction will run from Clapham Junction to Watford Junction only.
- Trains between London Bridge and Uckfield will operate from East Croydon to Uckfield only.
- No trains will run between **London Bridge and Epsom.
On Sunday, additional work between East Croydon and Purley will close more lines. Until 8:30am, buses will replace trains between East Croydon, Purley, Caterham, and Tattenham Corner.
In summary, there will be no Southern trains via Sydenham to East Croydon or Crystal Palace all weekend. Passengers are advised to plan ahead and check for the latest travel updates.
