Millions of Londoners face travel chaos this weekend as Transport for London shuts down multiple Underground and Overground lines for essential engineering works.
Several key Underground lines will be completely closed, with others running partial services only. The disruptions hit the network as TfL carries out vital maintenance work on the 160-year-old system, designed to keep services safe and reliable for the capital's commuters.
The London Overground network will also see significant service changes, affecting routes that connect outer London boroughs with the city centre. These orbital connections serve thousands of passengers travelling for work and leisure across the weekend.
TfL schedules these major engineering works for weekends to avoid peak commuting hours, but the closures will still impact millions making weekend journeys across the capital. The work forms part of ongoing efforts to modernise London's transport network and increase capacity for the city's growing population.
Passengers should check the TfL website, journey planner app, or station information boards before travelling. Replacement bus services will operate on some affected routes, but journey times will be significantly longer than usual.
Transport bosses are urging travellers to plan ahead, allow extra time, and consider alternative routes to avoid being caught out by the weekend closures.
