The Redbirds trace their origins to 1959, with the debut of the R26, the first of nine closely related subway car types that became synonymous with New York's transit system.

"Bank holidays are also among the least busy times on the railway, and the four-day period at Easter gives us a valuable opportunity to complete projects that simply can't be delivered during a normal weekend."

The main focus of the project is replacing the existing timber decking on the walkway, which has reached the end of its useful life. It will be replaced with glass-reinforced plastic panels, a more durable material designed to withstand heavy passenger use and last for many years.

The building, an office block with shops on the ground floor, is at the eastern end of Oxford Street, just north of Soho Square, and sits above the possible route of the Crossrail 2 railway, if/when it is eventually built.

A fault with the signalling system at Lewisham is causing disruption to services this morning, with trains running through the station subject to cancellations, delays or revisions until around 9am. The issue means services from Hither Green towards central London are currently unable to use platform 1 at Lewisham. As a result, trains heading towards central London from Sidcup and Sevenoaks are unable to call at Lewisham.

During the 22-day closure, Southeastern trains into central London will continue to run, but many trains will be diverted to alternative terminals. Most services that would normally use Charing Cross will instead run to London Victoria, London Cannon Street or London Blackfriars, with some trains terminating at London Bridge.

We are pleased to be working with Lambeth Council on an Option Selection Study for step-free access at Loughborough Junction Station. This study will play an important role in strengthening the case for future funding, and we look forward to working on design options that will improve accessibility for passengers and make a meaningful difference to their journeys.

The station needs upgrades to handle projected passenger demand as new housing is built nearby, but the current design wouldn't be able to accommodate it. The main problem is that the station is elevated high above the streets but has a long staircase to use. As a result, the two lifts are under unusually high use as people understandably avoid the stairs. That means the lifts are also often in need of repairs due to their higher-than-average use.

Three of London's mainline terminus stations have announced more dates for the Railway 200 themed heritage tours that they were running last year. The tours will run once a month from January to March next year at London Bridge, Victoria, and Waterloo stations and will be led by Network Rail and historian-author Rachel Kolksy. They will last around two hours and involve walking around each station and the surrounding areas. The tours will cost £25 per person and dates are below. London Bridge station Tickets

Bork!Bork!Bork! London's Elizabeth Line is the latest thing in urban development (at least as far as the UK is concerned). So it seems appropriate that its borks should be similarly up to date, and its emoticons rotated so the intent cannot be mistaken. Sent in by an eagle-eyed Register reader, today's entry in the pantheon of bork was snapped at London's Paddington station,

It's been donkey's years since TfL first teased Londoners about a potential extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to southeast London. Plans were first floated all the way back in 2010, and since then London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been drip feeding transport-deprived southeast Londoners morsels of commute-related hope. It was originally hoped that extension plans could be complete by 2026, which was then pushed back to 2028, and in August 2025 it was announced the extension could go even further than originally thought.
