:00:14. > :00:15.Rail passengers travelling over Easter are being warned
:00:16. > :00:21.Works will be taking place on a number of main lines in London
:00:22. > :00:27.London Bridge is expected to be amongst the hardest hit.
:00:28. > :00:31.With fewer people travelling over the Easter weekend,
:00:32. > :00:33.Network Rail say it's the best time to do the work.
:00:34. > :00:43.And for some, rail travel gets a whole lot harder.
:00:44. > :00:48.Here at London Bridge, the multi-million pound
:00:49. > :00:50.rebuilding works continue, but works are taking
:00:51. > :00:55.Great for passengers in the long term, but not so great
:00:56. > :01:01.Network Rail say the number of people using the trains over
:01:02. > :01:03.Easter drops by half, so it's a great time
:01:04. > :01:07.Here at Waterloo, they're taking full advantage of that drop
:01:08. > :01:09.in passengers by upgrading the tracks and the signals,
:01:10. > :01:11.in order to increase the number of trains.
:01:12. > :01:14.But compared to some of the other stations,
:01:15. > :01:19.So what about the rest of the network here in London?
:01:20. > :01:21.For the first half of the weekend there will be no trains
:01:22. > :01:26.And for the second half, the line into Cannon Street stays closed.
:01:27. > :01:28.At Liverpool Street, there will be a big reduction in trains,
:01:29. > :01:31.so if you're travelling towards Norfolk or Suffolk
:01:32. > :01:33.you'll need to factor in a tube or a bus journey.
:01:34. > :01:36.Then on Easter Sunday, for one day only, Southern won't run
:01:37. > :01:38.any trains from Victoria, and there will be no

:01:57. > :01:59.We're very confident around the works we are doing
:02:00. > :02:01.here and we are bang on programme for where we need
:02:02. > :02:06.There will be some finishing off works beyond Christmas,
:02:07. > :02:11.but we're looking for substantial completion by around May 2018.
:02:12. > :02:15.Come Tuesday, lines will reopen, trains will run and commuters
:02:16. > :02:21.But at London Bridge, the 24-hour operation continues.
:02:22. > :02:24.There's still much more to do and more closures to come
:02:25. > :03:04.if they're to have it all open on time next year.

:05:31. > :05:52.Good sunny spells tomorrow, but it will be a cooler feeling day.
:05:53. > :06:12.Good evening. I don't think everybody was a happy bunny today
:06:13. > :06:15.with the weather. We had some rain. Some of it was on the heavy side,
:06:16. > :06:20.particularly across northern parts of Wales. All these things are true
:06:21. > :06:24.for the next few days. Even into next week. We are going to stay with
