🚉 A wider gateline, new passenger information screens and an upgrade to CCTV has been installed at #PeckhamRye. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Fifty per cent more ticket gates have been installed by Network Rail at the @SouthernRailUK station - and customers can now benefit from an extended gateline featuring two additional ticket barriers, helping to reduce queuing on both sides of the gateline and enabling faster movement between the booking hall and platforms. ℹ️ New passenger information screens have also been installed further along platforms 1 and 2 to encourage customers to move along and use the full length of the platform. This will help make journeys easier and reduce crowding both on platforms and onboard trains. 🎦 CCTV has also been upgraded at the station. More information: networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…

✨Just over a week ago, we successfully completed a £20 million renewal project which involved closing Charing Cross and Waterloo East station for 22 days. 🛤️During that time, we renewed old tracks, platforms, avoided 60 weekends of closure and more. 🙏Thank you to all our partners for making the project a success and to our customers for bearing with us while we carried out these essential works. @Se_Railway @VolkerRailUK @VolkerFitzUK @networkrail #NetworkRail #SoutheasternRailway #RailwayUpgrade #EngineeringExcellenc

We are very sorry for the disruption to your journeys on @Se_Railway High Speed in #Kent over the past few days. This disruption has been caused by damage to a critical section of railway infrastructure in the Ebbsfleet area that now needs to be completely replaced. The replacement section is 28 metres long and weighs eight tonnes, requiring specialist lifting equipment and overnight access to the railway. Teams have been working around the clock to prepare for tonight's replacement operation. Network Rail High Speed Infrastructure Director Mike Brinkley explains more ⬇️ We currently expect a full High Speed service to start up as planned tomorrow morning.
