ENGINEERING works over the Easter weekend will affect holiday travel but most services will run as planned.

The Southern operator Govia announced yesterday that engineering works at Victoria station will prevent travel to or from the London terminus on Easter Sunday, April 16.

There will be no Southern and Gatwick Express trains.

Most Victoria services will be diverted to London Bridge and Gatwick Express passengers will be able to use Southern and Thameslink services to and from London.

Rail replacement services will run between Victoria and Streatham Hill/East Croydon.

There will be some other minor disruptions over the Easter weekend.

Passengers are advised to check train times and availability by calling National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50 or at nationalrail.co.uk.
