Blackheath rail tunnel closed for 10 weeks

A local railway tunnel that is prone to leaks, has closed for another round of maintenance work.

The railway tunnel between Charlton and Blackheath closed on Sunday night for repairs.

Southeastern trains between Charlton and Blackheath, which typically travel the mile-long Blackheath tunnel, will now travel via Greenwich until 27th July.

Network Rail are carrying out a £10 million repair project, which involves rebuilding drainage systems, adding new lining, and replacing thousands of bricks.
