These improvements are part of an overall programme of works to increase capacity across the London Overground network, both in stations and onboard trains, with a new five-car service due to arrive in 2015.
The work is expected to take around three months to complete and will be carried out by Walkers Ltd. The station will remain open throughout the works and services will run as normal, however access to some parts of the station will be restricted at various times throughout the project, to allow work to be carried out in passenger areas.
Later on this year, Network Rail will be carrying out further work at Honor Oak Park to install lifts as part of the Department for Transport’s Access for All scheme.
