I live on the Chessington Branch, and this weekend - for the 3rd weekend in a row - the SWML between Surbiton and Clapham Junction is totally closed. Buses are running from Surbiton to Clapham Junction (all stops except Berrylands), Chessington South to Clapham Junction, and Worcester Park to Clapham Junction. They are running trains south from Worcester Park via Epsom to Guildford (which is a good thing!)
This is really not a complaint as I totally understand the need for maintenance, and weekends are often the best time for them to be carried out. However I would be interested if someone could explain what the work being carried out actually is. I've tried the SWR Website, and the National Rail Website, and neither explain anything except 'Engineering Work'.
