With an upgrade planned for Waterloo station in August, fewer train services will run while work takes place to extend the platforms. Journeys are also likely to take longer and a small number of stations will be closed.

Government figures show that more than a third of rail passengers have to stand on trains arriving in parts of London in the morning rush hour, but that’s when a normal service is running. So, if you commute from the south west, are you worried about a month of travel chaos or has the long-term planning for the upgrade paid off?
