Nope, footbridge still open for that week. It goes on January 11th.
P5,6 will be permanently closed from the 11th.
Initially Up CHX services will use the Up Loop, Down CHX will use P4 but not stop.
So only access to P1-3...
The latest timelapse of Network Rails works at London Bridge is on their You Tube site site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz5a800-LTo
Personally I wish it was slightly slower to see each stage, but they are certainly doing some works.

What, like 23 days instead of 16
All the track is finished now, 'just' signalling to install and test.

Well I am getting used to this "working" from home lark!

Rumours that the work will continue for another week.

Or, perhaps they DO have a contingency plan and someone's put the wrong poster up...

Well that's a good sign, the test trains are going in.
And they've introduced time travel into the track layout....

Yeah we get that sort of time shifting with the RHTT and de-icers as they move around there circuit going over the same portion of lines multiple times and CCF not knowing which bit of its circuit it's actually on.
That will disappoint a few journalists who were probably hoping to be able to write a bash Network Rail news report.
I've re-named this thread, and another thread that had the same title, to avoid confusion. This thread is for the actual works themselves.
To discuss the temporary timetable, use London Bridge - new timetable during reconstruction works commencing 5th January

Thanks for this.
interesting to see the platform 9 wall is gone. It was meant to be listed i think so i dont know what has happened to that.
So the space is there for platforms 7, 8 and 9 which will be high level and 8 and 9 being for Charing cross services.
I'll be driving in and out of LBG tomorrow.
Looks like a problem with the points on the scissors outside P15.
Good news is they have moved the hoarding back at the signal box end of P15 (though not at the more useful gate line end.)
Access to the underground from the concourse was taped off in the down direction due to an escalator fault.

Is the footbridge across Platforms 1-6 going soon as well?
