Transport for London - Weekend travel information

 

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. 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.
