Transport for London

Weekend travel information   Dear Mr Grantham, If you need to travel this weekend, there are planned works on certain sections of the network that may affect your journey. If using public transport, travel during quieter times if you can. This will make social distancing easier and help to spread demand. The quieter times to travel are: Between 08:15 and 16:00 and after 17:30 on weekdays Before noon and after 18:00 on weekends Please continue to walk or cycle part of your journey where possible Our TfL Go app can help you plan your journey and show the quieter times to travel.  Our transport network has never been cleaner. Our air ventilation system means that air continuously flows through all our trains, trams and buses. You can find out more about what we are doing to keep our services clean. Thank you for continuing to wear a face covering over your nose and mouth at all times when on the transport network. You must continue to do so unless exempt.
