Check Before You Travel in london

TfL continues to work hard to keep disruption to a minimum and to provide information and alternative travel options. Londoners and visitors to the city are urged to “check before you travel”, particularly at weekends, and to allow extra journey time where necessary.

TfL has a range of travel tools available to help passengers plan ahead, get travel information on the move and work out the best way home at www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/traveltools.  The website also provides full bus replacement service information during works.

Passengers can check before travelling using the following tools: 

• Go to www.tfl.gov.uk/check

• Via free mobile and email alerts, available from the TfL website 

• Information on posters, leaflets and “service information” boards at Tube stations

• The London Travel Info 24hrs telephone helpline: 0843 222 1234

If travelling on Saturday 26, or Sunday 27 January, please check before you travel to see if your journey is affected.
