London Bridge railway station has closed and will remain shut for the | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
next nine days as part of its planned redevelopment, commuters | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
from across London and the South have been warned that many routes | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
will suffer a knock on effect, Rebecca Williams has more. One of | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
the main attractions of towns like Reigate, quick rail links into | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
London. For the next nine days, people here are going to see | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
considerable delays, due to redevelopment works being done at | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
London Bridge station. Having to go to Victoria with every other person | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
in normally gets the train and everybody who normally goes to | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
London Bridge is going to be a nightmare. I will probably be able | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
to work from home for at least one day during that. Some of the journey | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
time will be saved. It will be difficult. Will it | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
it is expected to affect a quarter of million people, it will run from | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
today until the 31st of August. There will be no First Capital | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Connect or Southern services calling at London Bridge and no direct | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
trains from there to London and Gatwick. This train is pretty busy, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
usually trains go direct into London Bridge from Reigate in about 40 | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
minutes, today I am making three changes going through Victoria, it | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
is going to take around 90 minutes. Reigate and Redhill has been | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
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 | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
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. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
If you are travelling around London over the weekend, if you are the | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
travel issues to be aware of: two people including a 14-year-old | :02:12. | :02:38. | |
boy from Surrey who were arrested in connection with a rape at the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Reading Festival have been bailed by Thames Valley Police. The alleged | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
incident took place on Thursday night, they have been bailed until | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
October six, with the condition not to return to the festival site. Two | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
men were due to appear in court today having been charged with the | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
murder of a man in Southall, Leeds were called by London Ambulance | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Service to Trinity Road on Wednesday. The men are accused of | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
stabbing a man. Next of kin have been informed, formal identification | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
will not take place until next week. A new ?20 million Hindu temple has | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
opened in north-west London, with money raised by the community. It is | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
claimed to be the world 's first green temple, it combines ornate | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
decoration with an eco-friendly design. Lot of hard work this Hindu | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
community has finally got the temple of its trains, and it bears little | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
resemblance to the old halls and disused church is it has had to use | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
in the past. Our temples around the globe look like this, but this one, | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
it is so white, it looks so pure. It is nice to know that we were here | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
when it opened. We were here when it built. It is the intricate new | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
altar, covered in 24 carat gold leaf, which as everyone beaming with | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
pride. This is more than just a place for worship: There is | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
kitchens, sports facilities and places to eat. The community wanted | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
to create a temple that looked traditional and was ornate but also | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
one which was sustainable and would last them into the future. So many | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
of these pillars, rather than cast from stone or marble, are actually | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
made from concrete. This really emphasises on not wasting energy, on | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
transportation et. Another eco-friendly feature, solar panels, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
they have been fitted to the roof, and rainwater is harvested and | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
reused. Earlier this week, thousands came to celebrate in their new | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
space, which may one day a part of London's heritage. -- one day the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
part. sunshine will turn hazy through the | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
afternoon, there will be a high of 21 degrees. Bank holiday Monday will | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
be great, outbreaks of sometimes heavy rain. That is it, we will be | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
back tomorrow evening, until then, enjoy your bank holiday weekend. | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
It has been a familiar story again today, pleasant in the sunshine but | :05:06. | :05:18. | |
certainly a chill in the air and tonight will be unusually cold for | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
this time of year. There will be some sunshine on Sunday before cloud | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
increases in the West to bring some rain around on Monday. Still showers | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
at the moment, some heavy ones, maybe thundery across eastern | :05:31. | :05:31. | |
England, Windows will fade away, maybe thundery across eastern | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
England, Windows will fade tonight will be dry, clear, cold, not a | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
breath of wind. Temperatures in towns and cities in many areas will | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
be in single figures but if you are in the country, look at this: | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Temperatures in the night for a while could be close to freezing. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Chilly start first thing, sunshine to compensate. For many eastern | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
areas it will stay fine and dry, with some sunshine all day. Heading | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
further west, the crowd will come in. -- clout. It will bring in rain. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
