London Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations will close for 22 days this summer to allow the South Eastern Railway to deliver a £20 million programme of essential railway upgrades. The closure will run from Sunday 26 July to Sunday 16 August 2026, plus some weekends either side, and will allow railway engineers to replace nearly two kilometres of 36-year-old track, rebuild sections of platform at Charing Cross, upgrade track drainage systems and carry out structural repairs to both the Waterloo East to London Waterloo pedestrian link bridge and the Hungerford Bridge, which takes the railway over the Thames to Charing Cross. The investment will modernise the infrastructure on one of the most important sections of the network, helping to deliver an even safer and more reliable @Se_Railway .

👷‍♀️We’re making improvements to the railway between London Waterloo and Clapham Junction this Christmas🎄 While there’s never a good time to close the railway, fewer people travel on our network at this time of year, giving us the best opportunity to deliver major upgrades to one of the railway’s key arteries❤️🛤️ 🙏A huge thank-you to @SW_Help customers adjusting their travel plans 🧵1/5

🚧 From 3 August we start our programme to replace the old escalators at Waterloo station - starting with the first pair by Exit 2 for the Jubilee line. You may need to change how you move around during peak times which will add 2 mins to journeys. Customer service advisors will be on hand we’ll have signs to guide you ↖️↙️ It means more reliable escalators when work is complete - thanks in advance for your patience find out more 👇networkrail.co.uk/running-th…

Today I explored the rooftop of @LondonWaterloo: the views are superb! Had a good view of scaffolding & cradle, which enable replacement of 12,000m2 concourse roof panels with polycarbonate: it’s a huge project, with a couple more years to go. Thanks to @NetworkRailSE for access
