Weekend travel information

 
Dear Mr Grantham,

If you are out and about over the Bank Holiday weekend there are lots of public transport options. Here are the details of planned works to help you plan your journey. 

We strongly encourage customers to wear face coverings on our services and stations unless exempt.

Our enhanced cleaning regime continues to make the network cleaner than ever, with more than 1,100 hand sanitiser dispensers installed across the network and at least 200 UV light devices continually sanitising escalator handrails.

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

No Southern rail or Gatwick Express services

During Network Rail re-signalling work, there will be no Southern rail or Gatwick Express services to/from Victoria between Saturday 30 April and Monday 2 May.

Thameslink and Southern tickets will be accepted on the Tube between Victoria and Blackfriars/London Bridge/Balham. There is no Northern line service through London Bridge until mid-May, so please use alternative Tube, rail or local bus services.
