Weekend travel information

 


 

If you are travelling this Bank Holiday 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. Please continue to do so unless exempt. Fines of up to £6,400 exist for anyone who does not comply.

Please also wash or sanitise hands before and after travel.

 

London Underground

 Most Tube services run until approximately 01:00 and our Night Bus services continue to operate. Taxi and private hire services are also available. Night Tube and Night Overground services are not operating.

Please check before you travel and plan your journey ahead of time.

No Southern rail services from Victoria

During Network Rail re-signalling work there will be no Southern rail services to/from Victoria this Bank Holiday weekend. Please use rail services from London Bridge for all Southern destinations, including Gatwick Airport and Brighton.

Southern tickets will be accepted on the Tube between Victoria and Blackfriars/London Bridge/Balham, and for local journeys a replacement bus service will be running between East Croydon and Clapham Junction.

Southeastern services are operating from Victoria as usual.
