Londoners have been urged to check before they travel this weekend as multiple Tube lines face partial closures. London Underground lines such as the Circle, District, and DLR all face various closures on Saturday and Sunday. The disruption also stretches to London Overground lines including the Lioness, Suffragette, and Mildmay, all of which are either running at a reduced service or face planned closures. Meanwhile, the Elizabeth line is partially closed on Sunday, making travelling east or west into London a bit more of a slog.
Saturday, October 10 closures
Several lines across the London Underground are undergoing planned engineering and upgrade works. The District line will be closed between Edgware Road and Tower Hill, with no service to and from those stations to Ealing Broadway, Richmond, Wimbledon, and Kensington (Olympia). Transport for London (TfL) has suggested travellers use replacement bus services or the Mildmay line between Gunnersbury, Kew Gardens, and Richmond.
There will be no service between Edgware Road and Aldgate via Victoria on the Circle line. The Waterloo & City line will be closed for the entire weekend, as always. There will be no service on the DLR between Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal. TfL recommends that passengers use local London buses, the London Underground or the Elizabeth line as no replacement bus services will operate.
London Overground disruption on Saturday
Only one London Overground line will be disrupted on Saturday. The Lioness line will run a reduced service between Kilburn High Road and London Euston. Between 6.30am and 8.30pm, trains departing Watford Junction at 30 minutes past each hour will terminate at Kilburn High Road. Between 7.15am and 9.15pm, trains departing Euston at 15 minutes past each hour will start from Kilburn High Road.
Sunday, October 11 closures
Sunday is a busier day for TfL disruption. Like Saturday, there will be no service between Tower Hill and Edgware Road on the District line, affecting trains to destinations like Ealing Broadway, Richmond, Wimbledon, and Kensington (Olympia). The Circle line will be closed between Edgware Road and Aldgate via Victoria, and the Waterloo & City line is closed for the weekend.
On the DLR, there will be no service between Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal. As mentioned above, no replacement bus services will operate, so travellers have been urged to use local London buses, Elizabeth line services, and the London Underground.
Overground and Elizabeth line on Sunday
Several London Overground lines face closures and disruption on Sunday. The Mildmay line will run a reduced service between Kensington (Olympia) and Clapham Junction.
