Major disruptions are expected this weekend across several London Underground lines, as well as the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and London Overground. These disruptions are part of ongoing work to upgrade the city’s public transport system. Travelers are advised to check their routes and plan accordingly before heading out.
The Piccadilly line will be partially closed from Saturday to Sunday, affecting services between Hyde Park Corner and Acton Town. This closure will also impact the Night Tube service, which normally operates on certain lines during late hours. The line has faced frequent closures over the past few months as part of preparations for a new fleet of trains. These upgrades include features like walk-through carriages, air-conditioning, wider doors, and more. Further disruptions are expected to continue through late November.
The District line will have no service between Earl’s Court and Ealing Broadway, and between Earl’s Court and Richmond on both Saturday and Sunday. This means passengers will need to find alternative routes or modes of transport for these affected segments.
The London Overground will experience several partial closures. On the Weaver line, there will be no service between Hackney Downs and Cheshunt/Enfield. On the Windrush line, there will be no westbound service between Wandsworth Road and Clapham Junction on Saturday night from 11:30pm, with trains diverted to or from Battersea Park for connections to Clapham Junction. The Lioness line will have no service between Willesden Junction and Watford Junction until 4:15pm on Sunday. Additionally, the Windrush line will be closed between West Croydon and Sydenham until 8:00am on Sunday. The Waterloo & City line, which runs directly between Waterloo and Bank stations, will be closed for the entire weekend.
The DLR will also have multiple closures, including between Lewisham and Stratford/Bank, Canning Town and Tower Gateway/Bank, and Stratford and Canary Wharf on both Saturday and Sunday. These disruptions are likely to cause delays and require passengers to adjust their travel plans accordingly.
