London Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations will close for 22 days this summer to allow the South Eastern Railway to deliver a £20 million programme of essential railway upgrades. The closure will run from Sunday 26 July to Sunday 16 August 2026, plus some weekends either side, and will allow railway engineers to replace nearly two kilometres of 36-year-old track, rebuild sections of platform at Charing Cross, upgrade track drainage systems and carry out structural repairs to both the Waterloo East to London Waterloo pedestrian link bridge and the Hungerford Bridge, which takes the railway over the Thames to Charing Cross. The investment will modernise the infrastructure on one of the most important sections of the network, helping to deliver an even safer and more reliable @Se_Railway .

Today, representatives from Network Rail, ⁦@SW_Help⁩, ⁦@transportgovuk⁩ and ⁦@BTP⁩ gathered at Victory Arch at ⁦@LondonWaterloo⁩ to remember those servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.

@andreas_nigbur Hi Andy, the Victory Arch entrance is a War Memorial and the plaques around the arch commemorate the major battlefields of WWI.

Waterloo Station is an impressive structure and one of the UK’s busiest rail hubs, linking London to the southwest of England. Yet, as one casually enters the building, simple yet unsettling questions begin to form. The destinations listed at the entrance—Belgium, Italy, Dardanelles, France, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the North Sea—spark both curiosity and a sense of something lost. Were these destinations once seamlessly connected by airship in a past now carefully omitted from the official record? tartariabritannica.com/blog/waterloo-…

Together with @NetworkRailWssx, today we unveiled a new mural celebrating '200 Years of Romance' at London Waterloo station. The mural features photographs submitted by colleagues and customers that encapsulate the connection between people and the railway.

@JonathanGoslan Hi Jonathan, these cameras are a temporary installation and only being used for pedestrian counts. There should be a poster like this one nearby.

Looks like facial recognition for everyone leaving Waterloo Station. Jerry-rigged and no power supply. Nice.
