L1 replacement bus services - the latest version.
And the limited ferry operation. It’ll be interesting to see how much that’ll be used.
While they suggest using trains as an alternative to reach the city neither suburban station close to the L1, Dulwich Hill and Lewisham, have easy access, which is a reason why people with mobility issues prefer the trams in the first place. The temporary bus interchange at Lilyfield will also not be popular.
Note how they’re promoting walking as the way to get to places the buses can’t reach :
