Potential 24-hour bus strike

The Unite union has announced a 24-hour strike on London bus services. If the strike goes ahead, bus services will be affected between 00:01 and 23:59 on Tuesday 13 January – affecting services throughout Tuesday and night bus services into the early hours of Wednesday. We are working on plans to keep London moving should the strike go ahead. For the latest information, please click here


Closure of part of A406 North Circular Road
From 22:00 on Friday until 05:30 on Monday 12 January, the Fore Street Tunnel on the A406 North Circular Road will be closed in both directions. This is due to tunnel refurbishment work. For more details, please click here





National Rail London Terminals


London Bridge mainline rail station - From Monday 12 January, there will be long term National Rail service changes at London Bridge mainline rail station. This is while Network Rail rebuilds the station as part of the Thameslink Programme. London Bridge Tube and mainline rail stations will remain open. Some Tube and London Overground stations will be busier than usual, especially during peak hours while National Rail customers take alternative routes. Please allow more time for your journey. For more details, please click here

Special update about Canada Water station
Due to alterations to mainline train services at London Bridge which took effect last night, more National Rail customers are using Canada Water as an alternative. This may mean your services are significantly more crowded, particularly at the busiest times. Please allow more time for your journey and, if you can, consider avoiding Canada Water at the busiest times, particularly during the evening peak.

If your journey is affected by the Thameslink Programme work and you have a London Terminals season ticket, you may need to update your ticket to ensure that it is valid for travel on the Transport for London network.
