This Is Local London

The changes are due to engineering work and will affect trains on Saturday and Sunday (August 9 and August 10).

We have outlined and simplified the details so you can plan your journey this week.

Saturday and Sunday (August 9 and August 10):

Engineering work is taking place in Tulse Hill, Streatham and Sutton via Mitcham Junction, closing all lines.

Buses will replace trains between Streatham and Sutton via Mitcham Junction on Saturday (August 9).

Replacement buses will run between Tulse Hill and Sutton via Mitcham Junction on Sunday (August 10).

Southern and London Overground trains will be severely disrupted this weekend.

This is due to planned engineering works on various routes.

The disruption will affect routes between East Croydon, Clapham Junction, and Watford Junction, as well as Southern services between London Victoria, Oxted, East Grinstead, London Bridge, East Croydon, and Uckfield.

Some lines will be closed, and trains will be replaced by buses, with some services operating on amended timetables.

Harvey Briggs, 22, will return to the club for another campaign, having enjoyed a breakthrough last season.

And former Romford junior Mikey Power, 24, will also be back in a gold and blue jersey after spending a year at Essex rivals Chelmsford.

Buckman said: “Harvey gained some valuable experience last year, and I will look to him to have a bigger year this season.

"He has all the ability to be an impact player with his speed and work ethic, which will make a difference and for sure make him a fan favourite again.”

Southern rail passengers are set to face disruptions this weekend due to engineering works.

Southern and Thameslink have announced that no trains will run between St Albans City and Sutton (London) via Mitcham Junction on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27.

This is due to engineering work taking place between Streatham (Greater London) and Mitcham Junction, closing all lines.

On Saturday, Southern will replace trains with buses between Streatham and Sutton via Mitcham Junction, which will also call at Streatham Common.

The works, set to take place from Monday, July 21 to Friday, July 25, will affect key routes in south London.

Trains between London Victoria and Portsmouth Harbour, Barnham and Bognor Regis, and Chichester and Brighton are all set to be disrupted.

Some lines between Barnham and Havant will be closed, which will affect the 9.35pm train from London Victoria to Portsmouth Harbour.

This train, which usually separates at Barnham to form the 11.15pm Barnham to Bognor Regis service, will instead run through to Portsmouth Harbour.

Work will start in the coming weeks to transform travel along the A23 Streatham Hill, with improvements for walking, cycling, and public transport users.

Transport for London (TfL), in partnership with Lambeth Council, will deliver new pedestrian crossings, a protected cycle route, upgraded pavements, and improved bus lanes.

Amithraz Balgobin, 36, allegedly attacked Amaratial Mistry at the property on Churchmore Road in Streatham on Friday, July 4.

Paramedics were called to his home at around 1pm and found Mr Mistry with a number of injuries.

He was pronounced dead at the scene in Churchmore Road.

Balgobin was arrested nearby and charged on Sunday with murder and possession of Class A and B drugs.

On Wednesday, the defendant, of Woodbourne Avenue, Lambeth, appeared at the Old Bailey by video-link from Thameside prison.

All properties in Croydon and Streatham affected by the broken pipe should now have water back in their taps, according to Thames Water.

The pipe, located on Commonside East, CR4, caused homes in CR0, CR2, CR4, CR7, and SW16 to experience no water or low pressure over the past two days.

Thames Water said the leak has been stopped and excess water drained.

The water company successfully rerouted water from other pipes to restore supply.

An excavation is underway to fix the damaged pipe.

Thousands of homes in Croydon and Streatham are facing a second day without water.

The affected postcodes are CR0, CR2, CR4, CR7, and SW16.

A burst pipe on Commonside East in Mitcham Common is responsible for the shortage.

As a temporary measure, water has been rerouted from other pipes, and it is hoped "all properties affected should have water back in your taps."

The leak has been stopped and the excess water drained, according to Thames Water.

A large shaft has been dug to access the damaged pipe, and a second one is being constructed.
