We’ve reached yet another weekend, and yet another brand new month. As June rolls in this Sunday, we’re sure you’ve got loads of plans to ring in the summer month in style. We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but there are some TfL train and tube disruptions you should be aware of before you head off on your adventures.
If you’re still on the lookout for activities to make the most of Saturday and Sunday, you’re lucky to be in the country’s biggest (and, we think, best) city. The film and media festival SXSW is making its London debut in Shoreditch, Imelda Staunton is currently on a West End stage, and there’s an entire exhibition dedicated to sound taking place at the Barbican – basically, you’re spoiled for choice.
Here’s all the planned disruptions on the tube and trains in the capital for this weekend. As always, there may be delays or cancellations which happen last minute, so it’s always a good idea to double check TfL’s website or app before you travel.
Circle line
The entire Circle line will be out of action for one day only on Saturday May 31 until 4pm, when it will resume service as normal.
District Line
The District line will also be entirely closed on Saturday May 31 until 11am. There will be a replacement bus service, and Piccadilly line trains will also make a call at Turnham Green while the disruption is ongoing.
DLR
On Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1, the DLR will be shut between Beckton and Prince Regent all day long. Replacement buses will run between Prince Regent and Gallions Reach, making stops in Royal Albert, Beckton Park, Cyprus and Beckton.
Hammersmith and City line
Like the District line, the entire Hammersmith and City line will be closed until 11am on Saturday May 31. Once it opens back up, service will remain halted between Edgware Road and Moorgate until 4pm.
Jubilee line
The entire Jubilee line will also be closed until 11am on Saturday May 31 . For the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday June 1, it will be part-closed between Waterloo and Stanmore – this includes the night tube on Saturday and early Sunday.
Metropolitan line
Parts of the Metropolitan line will be closed on both Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. There will be no trains between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge before 4pm on Saturday. TfL directs those affected to the Piccadilly line where you’ll be able to access stations between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge.
There’ll be no service between Aldgate and Watford at all on Saturday or Sunday. During this period, you’ll still be able to catch a train between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Amersham/Chesham, although the service will be non-stop between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Moor park.
Waterloo and City
As always, the Waterloo and City line will be closed this weekend, resuming service at 6am on Monday.
Overground
Mildmay line
A planned closure will mean that there is no service between Camden Road and Stratford on the Mildmay line on Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. The line is further disrupted by a reduced service between Willesden Junction and Camden Road – trains between these stations will only run once every 15 minutes on Saturday and Sunday.
It’s also worth noting that on Sunday morning, the first train from Gospel Oak, at 9.15am, to Camden Road will instead run from Shepherd's Bush. The next train, at 9.27am, will run as normal, so TFL advises those affected to wait for that.
Windrush
There will be a part-closure on the Windrush line between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction all day Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. A replacement bus service, which runs from Canada Water to Clapham Junction via Surrey Quays, Queens Road Peckham, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road, will be available.
