🎬 We're repairing London Waterloo’s 100 year-old roof. The roof that covers the station's concourse was rebuilt in 1922. We're replacing the glazing to make it safe and reliable for the long term: 👉 networkrail.co.uk/our-work/o… #LondonWaterloo #WaterlooStation @NetworkRailSE

Five days on from the derailment at #Lewes, we've undertaken key works to prepare the site for the next stage of the operation. We remain focused on working with our partners to reopen the line as soon as safely possible. Update from Lucy McAuliffe, route director for Sussex.

Tomorrow, we're expecting to welcome back @Se_Railway services into Charing Cross and Waterloo East again. Trains across the Southeastern network will run to their normal timetable. We used the 22-day closure to replace nearly 2km of track, sections of six platforms at Charing Cross and carryout vital repairs to the Hungerford Bridge and the footbridges at Waterloo East. We will be carrying out the final bits of testing overnight tonight ready for the first trains of the day in the morning. We'd like to thank passengers for their patience and understanding.

🤔 Why don’t rails get hot in Europe? The truth is they do. Different countries need different temperature ranges for their rails depending on their climate. 🌡️ 📹 Here's why … 👉 bit.ly/4fTkxE8 #HotRailway #Summer #HotWeather #Heatwave

Did you know❓ We're using smart sensors for fewer delays in the summer. 🌡️ They help us to accurately and more frequently track the temperature of rails in hot weather, so we can respond faster: 👉 bit.ly/3PHg9gO #HotRailway #HotWeather #Summer #Heatwave

NO SECOND CHANCES: Never take shortcuts across the tracks. Some rails carry high-voltage electricity powerful enough to cause catastrophic injuries, horrific burns or worse. @SW_Help @GWRHelp @SouthernRailUK

Day 10 - Charing Cross and Waterloo East 22-day line closure With Waterloo East station closed, we're making the most of this rare opportunity to carry out work that would be impossible to do when trains and passengers are moving through the station. Teams are cleaning and treating steelwork, before applying new paint, on the footbridges that take passengers to and from the station, helping to protect the bridges from elements for years to come. We are also replacing the window panels, more than 300 in total. The new windows are self-cleaning and will provide more light into the passageways. Additionally, these windows open, bringing some much needed breeze - especially in this weather. These improvements are being delivered alongside major track renewals, platform upgrades and bridge repairs between Charing Cross and Waterloo East as part of a £20 million investment in one of the busiest parts of the Southeastern network. Over the 22-day closure, @Se_Railway services are being diverted to London Victoria, Cannon Street, Blackfriars and London Bridge, with amended timetables across much of the network, and reduced frequency on some routes. For information on where your service is running, timetable changes and ticket acceptance, visit: southeasternrailway.co.uk/Ch…
