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. The information in this email could possibly change, so please check before you travel or use the TfL Go app to plan your journey.
