Transport for London - Weekend travel advice

 


Weekend travel information

 


If you are out and about this weekend, please note that there are planned closures taking place on certain parts of the network. There will be no Northern line service between Kennington and Moorgate from Sunday 16 January until mid-May 2022. You can find more details below.

Like many businesses around the country, we are experiencing the effects of the pandemic with a number of staff ill due to Covid or self isolating. While we continue to do all we can to keep operating a normal service, we advise everyone to check our website and the TfL Go app before they travel, as services may be affected at short notice by staff absences. 

You must wear face coverings for the duration of your journey or risk being fined, unless you are exempt

Additionally, face coverings should be worn by everyone in taxi and private hire vehicles for the duration of their journey.

TfL’s 500 uniformed enforcement officers and TfL's police partners will be out across the transport network ensuring that customers comply with the Government regulation. Anybody who does not comply may be refused entry, directed to leave the network or face a fine.
 
 
 

London Underground

 

Tube strike

There is planned strike action every Friday and Saturday night between 20:30 and 04:29 the following morning until Sunday 19 June.

If these strikes go ahead, normal services are expected on the Victoria line, while we expect the Central line to run a regular service through central London, with at least two trains per hour.

Customers using Victoria or Central line services on Friday and Saturday nights between 19:00 and 06:00 the following morning are advised to check before they travel. Customers are also able to check when their next service will be via our Tube webpage.

All other Tube lines will run their normal daytime services during these strikes, with the last Tubes in central London leaving around 01:00 and starting again at 05:30.

Night Overground services between Highbury & Islington and New Cross Gate are not affected by this action.
