affected more than most other stations on the southern network.

:01:42.:01:47.

How we will handle the overcrowded trains? I do not know. We understand

there is going to be significant disruption to passengers normal

:01:52.:01:55.

patterns but we will be working very hard to make sure that alternative

:01:56.:02:00.

routes are available. Work was well underway at London Bridge station

:02:01.:02:03.

today but it is not set to be finished until 2018.

travel issues to be aware of: two people including a 14-year-old

one which was sustainable and would last them into the future. So many
