A Saturday timetable will be in effect across the Tube and London Overground network on Friday 3 June. On Saturday evening, services will run approximately one hour later to accommodate traffic from the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert. The Elizabeth line will be running on Sunday. 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.
