"Transport for London (TfL) is warning of severe disruption across the London Underground as the RMT union members walk out on strike next week. TfL urges customers to seek staff help to recover items that fall onto the tracks rather than risk danger trying to retrieve items themselves."
"Work on upgrading Leyton tube station to provide step-free access and a new station entrance is progressing, with steelwork now being installed. Over the Bank Holiday weekend, a huge new footbridge was lifted into position over Hither Green railway station as part of a £27 million project to provide step-free access to the station."
"A signalling fault in south-east London blocked all lines through Denmark Hill, causing widespread disruption across parts of the London transport network on Monday morning. Rail passengers are being warned that Charing Cross station will close for three weeks this summer as Network Rail and Southeastern carry out a £20 million programme of track and bridge repairs."
"Competition is about to begin on the railway from London Euston to Scotland. From 25 May, the “open-access” operator, Lumo, will begin services from Stirling in central Scotland to the English capital. Plans to reinstate passenger rail services on a line in Hampshire [to Waterloo] have been rejected by a government regulator."
