Service Change 24 August 2009 - WIQ flyunder

Trains operating from Bank towards Lewisham will use the fly-under during peak times, 06:30-10:00 and 16:00-19:30hrs, on weekdays. Use of the new fly-under will allow a more frequent service to operate, and improve journey times through this busy junction.
