'Alternative route' for Southeastern trains 28th Sept

[ngood77]

Hi all,

Does anybody know the alternative route that the Hastings to Charing X trains are taking tomorrow, is it via Bromley South/Denmark Hill into London Bridge and onward ?
Thanks,

N.

To summarise,
Orpington>Bromley South>Beckenham Junction>New Beckenham (Hayes line) and then onto London Bridge from there.

Quite a common one. Denmark Hill wouldn't work very well as a diversion for a whole number of reasons, they'd probably just send everyone into Victoria instead.

Magic, thanks both.

The Ashford's are always sent to Victoria, and the Hastings's are always sent via the Hayes Line (or via Redhill).

Is it just Tonbridge crews that sign the Hayes line (mid kent ) or do Hastings sign it too ?

Interestingly I've been on a return Tonbridge to Victoria journey today (both services starting / terminating Ramsgate) and the out was routed via Beckenham Junction and the return via the Catford loop.

Neither of them sign it, they are 'piloted' from Orpington to London Bridge.
