Transport for London - Weekend travel advice

 

Transport for London

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. We strongly encourage customers to wear face coverings on our services and stations, unless exempt, even though it is no longer a requirement to do so. This follows the Government's decision to lift coronavirus restrictions and the decreasing infection rates in London. Wearing a face covering will help to drive down transmission of coronavirus and to keep each other as safe as possible.

London Underground

Until Sunday 19 June 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 can use the TfL Go app to check when the next services will be. For full information on these strikes, please visit our website.

Northern line Until mid-May 2022 No service between Kennington and Moorgate This is due to work we are doing to substantially improve the capacity at Bank station.
