A number of London’s transport lines will be part-shut or skip stops this weekend, affecting passengers across the capital. Network Rail and Transport for London has scheduled a programme of track and maintenance work across the Tube, Overground, Tram and Elizabeth line.
A section of the Piccadilly line in West London will also remain shut until Saturday due to safety concerns around Storm Benjamin. However, there are still plenty of ways to get around, including rail replacement buses in the most impacted areas.
But, it’s not nice to be caught out so we’ve broken down the closures taking place across Saturday and Sunday:
