London commuters and weekend travellers face significant disruption as Transport for London announces major closures across key Underground lines this weekend. Essential engineering works will bring several vital routes to a complete standstill, forcing passengers to seek alternative transport options.
Complete Line Closures
The District Line faces a total shutdown between Earl's Court and Kensington (Olympia), while the Circle Line will be completely suspended throughout the weekend. Adding to the travel woes, the Metropolitan Line will be out of service between Aldgate and Baker Street.
Partial Disruptions and Service Changes
Several other lines will operate reduced services or face partial closures:
- Bakerloo Line: No service between Queen's Park and Harrow & Wealdstone
- Elizabeth Line: Reduced frequency with no trains running between Paddington and Abbey Wood
- London Overground: Multiple route closures affecting services from Highbury & Islington to West Croydon and Clapham Junction
Alternative Travel Options
Transport for London advises passengers to use bus services, Santander Cycles, or other Tube lines where possible. The Central, Jubilee, and Northern lines are expected to operate normally, though they may experience increased passenger numbers due to the diverted traffic.
Passengers are strongly encouraged to check the TfL website or use the TfL Go app before travelling to get real-time updates on service status and planned engineering works.
