Some of you might know more but just checking my route up to central London on Sunday and it seems that various bus replacements are in place for the Sidcup line and Orpington line.
I hope I am misreading the information.

    Same on Thameslink for those coming in from North of London.

    No trains between Bedford and Harpenden on Sunday 25th

    Yep. No trains running from Lewisham to Grove Park/Bromley North or Orpington. Or Lewisham to Sidcup. 

    We'll probably go Bromley South to Victoria. Son was talking about getting to Canary Wharf  & then tube to Wembley Pk  I'll start worrying about how to get there once I secure a ticket.

    I assume the Jubilee line will be stuffed full of Orient fans getting on at Stratford. Any room left for us at Greenwich North?

    Standard issue at weekends, disruption and bus replacements, and with it being a bank holiday weekend...🤦‍♂️
    Deep joy for train travel...

    I imagine their fan base is a spread around as ours is. A lot will live in Essex, just as lots of Charlton live in Kent.

    In the past when they have closed these lines out of Orpington they still run the trains but loop around a bit via Catford and arrive around a normal time. I’m hoping that this is the case next week.

    Makes more sense for them all to get on the Lizzie at Stratford no? Then change to the Mey

    That's what I'll be doing 
    Get to Orpington station at about 9am.
    Regular service to London Bridge.

    Just checked on the Trainline website and there seem to be the usual trains from Orpington on 25th?

    Looks like it is just Chislehurst to Grove Park that has the bus replacements as per Trainline. 
    Thanks for your help

    You don't need a ticket, it's contactless payment on the tube.

    Peterborough line seems to be one of the only ones with no issues for once (for now).

    Wording suggests the trains from the following stations are down, but they show to be running when you punch in details for journey planner on the Sunday. Are they running from Chislehurst/Petts Wood?

    My train company planner says if you want Sidcup to London Bridge it's a bus every half hour from Sidcup to Lewisham, then the normal train. Takes an hour. Might be easier to get a bus first and start from another station.
