Bakerloo line
There is currently no service between Queen's Park and Harrow & Wealdstone; services will resume on Monday. This is while we carry out platform extension work at Willesden Junction.

Circle line
Trains will not run between Gloucester Road and Aldgate, via Embankment. This is to allow for station improvement work at Victoria and replace track and renew drainage at Blackfriars.

Tower of London - Customers visiting the Tower of London are advised that there is no train service at Tower Hill; you may find it easier to use Aldgate, Aldgate East or London Bridge stations.

District line

This is to enable us to carry out station improvement work at Victoria and replace track and renew drainage at Blackfriars. In addition, we are carrying out track replacement and line improvement work at Richmond.
