Transport for London - Weekend travel information

 

Transport for London

Weekend travel information   Dear Mr Grantham, Thank you for continuing to follow the Government restrictions on travel as we all work together to tackle the pandemic.  The key Government requirement is to stay at home and only certain journeys are legally permitted on public transport. If you are not certain about the Government’s rules, please check their website for further information. If you are using public transport for a legally permitted reason, we have tools to help you plan your journey, including information on the quiet times to travel. Please travel at these quiet times if at all possible to ensure that social distancing can be maintained. The quiet times are between 08:15 and 16:00, and after 17:30 on weekdays and before noon and after 18:00 on weekends.  We have also published information about quiet stations and stops. The information will be updated regularly which will also help maintain social distancing. You must wear a face covering over your nose and mouth at all times when on the transport network, unless exempt. The overwhelming majority of people are complying with this requirement and the British Transport Police and our own officers are on the network to check compliance. Fines of up to £6,400 exist for anyone who does not comply.  Please also wash or sanitise hands before and after travel. Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe during this period.

Until Wednesday 31 March Swiss Cottage gyratory works Cadent Gas and Thames Water will be doing works around the Swiss Cottage gyratory. The works have been planned collaboratively to share space around the gyratory, reducing the overall disruption that would occur. The works include TfL signalling upgrades around the gyratory, Cadent gas main works on the north side of the junction, and Thames Water works in the central reservation.  No road closures will be in place during the works, but there will be lane restrictions along each working area. Please follow the temporary signage and pass through the gyratory with care.   Until early May 2021 Twickenham lane closures Until early May, there is a series of lane closures in both directions on the A316, Great Chertsey Road between the Apex Corner roundabout and the junction with Hospital Bridge Road.

Delays are expected.   Ongoing Hammersmith Bridge is closed to all traffic Following expert technical advice, Hammersmith & Fulham Council has closed the bridge to all traffic, including people walking and cycling – until we can be assured it’s safe. We have made changes to public transport to help you make your journey across the river, including to bus route 533 which is providing much needed support for local trips.
