Overview
- Confirmed shutdowns cover 15, 21, 22, 28 and 29 March, with additional disruption signalled for 7–8 March.
- Works include roof drainage upgrades at the station, track and rail renewals near Ilford, and inspections of tunnels, walls and brickwork.
- Greater Anglia trains serving Cambridge, Bishop’s Stortford, Hertford East and Stansted Airport will start or terminate at Stratford, with buses supplementing services.
- The Elizabeth line will be closed between Stratford and Shenfield on affected weekends, with London Overground routes into Liverpool Street and the Romford–Upminster line also suspended.
- Passengers are urged to check National Rail and operator sites and allow extra time, as closures affect the UK’s busiest station and have prompted local concern about potential overruns impacting events.
