Early May Bank Holiday Weekend Changes to Southern and Gatwick Express Services Apr 21, 2016 10:23 BST Early May Bank holiday weekend changes to Southern and Gatwick Express services Network Rail’s engineering work this May Day Bank Holiday weekend (30 April to 02 May) is concentrated in south London, as a project to improve signalling takes place on the Brighton Main Line in the Streatham area. The work which takes place between Balham and Norbury means that there will be major changes to Southern services to and from Victoria on Saturday and Monday, with most Southern services being diverted to run to and from London Bridge instead. On Sunday, Network Rail will be carrying out work in the Battersea area as well, so there will be no Southern services at all to or from Victoria. For all three days, there will be no Gatwick Express services, although Gatwick will be well served by London Bridge. A Southern spokesperson said: “This is another crucial piece of engineering work which will help us to run our trains on a more reliable railway. Unfortunately, it does mean that some of our passengers will need to alter their journeys over the weekend, but we have ensured they will be able to get to their destinations by optimising the use of London Bridge and Blackfriars. “While the work takes place, our message to passengers is to plan your journey by checking before you travel with National Rail Enquiries.” The changes in full: Saturday 30 April 2016 and Monday 2 May 2016 A reduced service will run from London Victoria as follows: 2 trains per hour from London Victoria to East Grinstead. 2 trains per hour from London Victoria to Caterham (via Norwood Junction). 1 train per hour from London Victoria to Dorking (via Crystal Palace / Sutton). 1 train per hour from London Victoria to Epsom (via Crystal Palace / Sutton). London Victoria to Portsmouth Harbour / Southampton Central / Littlehampton / Eastbourne / Ore trains will be diverted to start from London Bridge. London Victoria to Reigate / Tonbridge services will operate between Reigate and Tonbridge. No services will operate between London Victoria and Brighton. A service will operate between London Bridge and Brighton early in the morning and evenings only. London Bridge to Tattenham Corner services will be diverted to travel via Peckham Rye / Crystal Palace calling at all stations. London Bridge to Beckenham Junction services will not run. London Bridge to Uckfield services will not run. London Bridge to London Victoria services will not run.

  • Trenitalia C2c Announces Retirement of Julian Drury and Appointment of Ben Ackroyd
    Trenitalia c2c announces retirement of Julian Drury and appointment of Ben Ackroyd May 5, 2020 Trenitalia c2c has announced that current Managing Director Julian Drury will retire in September after 40 years in the rail industry, and that Ben Ackroyd will be appointed as his replacement. Julian first joined the rail industry in 1980 as a British Rail graduate traffic management trainee. He has been Managing Director at c2c since 2008, and was previously MD at Gatwick Express. Under Julian’s leadership, c2c has become firmly established as one of the UK’s most punctual train operators, setting the national records for punctuality over both a 4-week period and a full year. c2c also became the first train operator to introduce automatic compensation for delayed customers and a Smartcard system. Since Julian joined c2c, passenger numbers have grown by 50%, and the company has won a string of awards including the best train operator title at both the 2015 National Rail Awards and 2017 National Transport Awards. Julian said: “I joined the rail industry to work in public service and I’ve never lost that very strong sense of service in everything I’ve done. I really have been privileged and thrilled to be a part of making c2c the country’s most punctual and reliable railway and it has allowed me to work with many of the very best people I have ever known. But 40 years is a significant career and in September the time really will be right to make this change. I have huge respect and affection for all my colleagues at Trenitalia and I am totally committed to helping them and all of us to play our part over the coming months in restoring the nation’s services.” Ben Ackroyd joins c2c from Northern, the largest train operator outside London, where he is currently Engineering Director.
