Here is our weekly travel update to help you get around London this weekend, 15 and 16 June, and the following week.

Most of the network will be open with services running as normal so you’ll be able to get wherever you need to go, but please check if any of the following affect you.

London Underground

Circle line

On Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June, there will be no service between Aldgate and Edgware Road via Victoria. This is due to line modernisation work. Use alternative Tube or local bus routes.

District line

On Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June, there will be no service between Aldgate East / Edgware Road and Ealing Broadway / Kensington (Olympia) / Richmond / Wimbledon. There will also be no service between Edgware Road and Kensington (Olympia). This is due to line modernisation work. Use alternative Tube, London Overground or local bus routes.

London Overground

Until further notice (except during planned line closures), there is a reduced service every day between Gospel Oak and Barking. This is due to a lack of available trains. Trains will run about every 30 minutes.

However, our new trains are gradually starting to provide additional services, resulting in an increased frequency at certain times of day. For train times, please check National Rail Enquiries on the day of travel.

From 23:45 tomorrow, Friday 14 June, there will be no southbound service from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction. This is due to Network Rail track work. Use local buses via any reasonable route.
