It’s the best time of the week: we’ve once again (almost) reached the weekend. As ever, it’s set to be a busy one in London with loads of exciting things going on that you’re going to want to get involved in.
Whether you’re going to a Euros final watch party to cheer the Lionesses on (or root for their Spanish rivals) or showing support at Trans Pride this Sunday, you’ll probably be using public transport to get around.
Unfortunately, in a city this big, there’s always going to be some delays or disruptions on the railways and the underground. That includes planned closures, which are easy to work around when you know what’s coming. Here’s all the planned train and tube disruptions this weekend (July 25-27).
RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in London this weekend.
DLR
Across the city, the most significant disruption scheduled for this weekend is on the DLR. On Friday July 25, the entire line will be shut, meaning you’ll have to find other ways into the east. Buses and the Jubilee line will help you get where you need to go.
On Saturday and Sunday (July 26 and 27), the line is only part-suspended. It will be closed between Canary Wharf and Stratford, and between Canary Wharf and Bank. It will also be entirely closed from Canning Town to both Bank and Tower Gateway, meaning you’ll essentially have to get to Canning Town or Canary Wharf in order to use the majority of the services. Don’t fear though: replacement buses will be provided.
Overground
Mildmay line
The Mildmay will be operating a reduced service this weekend. On Friday (July 25) it will be closed between Stratford and Camden Road, on Saturday (July 26) the 9.04pm and 10.34pm trains from Clapham Junction to Stratford won’t go ahead. The 11.19pm service from Clapham Junction to Willseden will be similarly cancelled.
On Sunday (July 27) there will be further disruptions to the Mildmay line. Trains will only run every ten minutes between Richmond and Stratford until 10.15pm, when they will fall to once every 20 minutes. From 10.15, there will also be no service from Camden Road to Stratford and vice versa. There will be no service between Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction at all on Sunday.
Suffragette line
There will be no trains running on the Suffragette line between Barking and Barking Riverside from 11.30pm on Saturday (July 26) until Monday morning.
Windrush line
After 10.15pm on Sunday (July 27), there will be no service between Highbury & Islington and Dalston Junction. Replacement bus services will be in operation.
