Transport for London - Weekend travel information

 

If you are out and about this weekend, please note that there are planned works taking place on certain parts of the network. Customers must continue to wear a face covering on our services and in stations for the duration of their journey unless they are exempt, and may be refused entry or asked to leave for not doing so. This includes the Tube, bus, tram, DLR, London Overground and TfL Rail networks, Dial-a-Ride services, the Emirates Air Line and the Woolwich ferry.  We also expect and recommend the continued use of face coverings in taxis and private hire vehicles by both drivers and passengers unless they are exempt.  We are very grateful to the overwhelming majority of customers who have been complying with this requirement. Please keep washing or sanitising your hands to help everyone stay safe. You can find out more about what we are doing to keep our services clean. Our TfL Go app will help you plan your journey and show you the quieter times to travel. It also shows how busy Tube stations are throughout the day. The quieter times currently are: Between 08:15 and 16:00 and after 17:30 on weekdays Before noon and after 18:00 on weekends

Until winter 2023 Stratford High Street weight restrictions A 7.5-ton weight restriction is being introduced on Stratford High Street as Thames Water begins a vital upgrade of the 160-year-old sewer Northern Outfall Sewer, which passes under the road along the line of the Greenway. At the western end of the high street, a temporary 7ft width restriction at the start of the eastbound Bow flyover means vehicles over 7.5t need to divert at Bow roundabout and on to the diversion route via the A12. The temporary limits came into force in August. The 7.5 tonne weight limit, along with a new temporary 20mph speed limit, will be enforced by traffic cameras, and will be in place for up to 30 months. You can find full details of the diversion on One.Network.
