“Please leave at least 20-30 minutes of extra time to get to your destination.
“To reduce delays, some trains may not stop at all the usual stations en route, and there could be some cancellations.
“You can still use your normal route, but please be aware that you may need to change trains more often if your service is amended.

“You can also use London Underground services to transfer between stations in the London area.”
