Transport for London (TfL) has warned of significant disruption to five public transport lines this weekend, ahead of planned Tube strikes in June. Various sections of the Piccadilly line will close from Friday night (May 29), halting services towards Heathrow Airport and Uxbridge for track, platform and power supply upgrades. The Night Tube will be suspended this Friday and Saturday, as well as several nights between June and November.
DLR and Lioness line passengers also face timetable changes over the next few days, with stations missed in East and West London due to Network Rail and third-party works. TfL has confirmed that sections of the Piccadilly line will close on various days throughout 2026 ahead of a new fleet of Tube trains being introduced from December.
Further travel disruption is expected in early June, with RMT union members planning to strike on June 2 and 4 in opposition to a proposed four-day working week. The union previously called off strikes in May after a breakthrough in talks, but TfL says its position has not changed.
During the strikes, no service is expected on the Piccadilly and Circle lines, the Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate, and the Central line between White Horse and Liverpool Street. The Victoria and Northern lines are expected to operate with minor delays, but travel should be completed by 9pm as most lines may shut early due to staffing shortages.
TfL urges passengers to check their journeys before travelling. The closures this weekend are due to works at Beckton Depot to prepare for new trains and third-party works.
