Train services are to be cut over Easter

Travellers trying to get away over Easter are advised to avoid Clapham Junction, with major track work closing the line to Wimbledon.

Network Rail have scheduled £3million of work over the four-day long weekend, including replacing mainline tracks.

South West Trains' Nick Dorey said the lines from Clapham to Waterloo and Wimbledon will be closed while engineers work round the clock.

"We are sorry for any disruption caused to passengers during this period but rest assured we will do everything in our power to get our passengers to their destinations," Mr Dorey said.

"We strongly advise passengers to check their journey details before traveling."

Mainline services will be diverted between Woking and Clapham Junction, a reduced service will operate on most mainline routes to and from London Waterloo on Friday, Saturday and Monday.

On Sunday, trains will run from Wimbledon to London Waterloo via East Putney every 10 minutes.

Other services will terminate at Wimbledon or Surbiton and there will be reduced services on the Richmond, Twickenham, and Hounslow lines.

Network Rail route director David Pape said: "We have been working hard to plan and prepare for this project, which will lead to a more reliable railway and a better service for passengers.

"Clapham Junction is a vital and busy part of the network and while this means that more passengers will experience these benefits, we would also advise people to check their plans prior to travelling."
