Check Before You Travel Saturday and Sunday 29 & 30 March 2014

• Improvement works will take place on  the Tube and London Overground, although the vast majority of the network remains open to customers throughout the weekend

• To help passengers get around, a huge range of information is available online, via social media and many other resources

• For live road updates follow @TfLTrafficNews or go to www.tfl.gov.uk/trafficnews 

During the weekend of 29 and 30 March the vast majority of the network will be operating as there are no planned track works on the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern, Victoria, Waterloo & City lines, Docklands Light Railway and London Tramlink. 

Transport for London (TfL) works hard to keep the majority of the transport network open 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 helps passengers to plan ahead, get travel information on the move and work out the best way home at www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews.   The website also provides full bus replacement service information during works. Passengers can check before travelling using the following tools: 

• Sign up for emails on our website tfl.gov.uk/emailupdates

• Go to www.tfl.gov.uk/check

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

• The London Travel Info 24hrs telephone helpline: 0343 222 1234

London Underground

The Bakerloo line will be partly suspended on Sunday between Queen's Park and Harrow & Wealdstone to allow for Network Rail engineering work. 

The District line will be partly suspended all weekend between West Kensington to Acton Town and Richmond while track replacement is carried out in the Turnham Green area. On Sunday, the closure is extended to Ealing Broadway to carry out points work at Acton Town.

The Jubilee line will be partly suspended early on Sunday morning until 11am between Waterloo and Finchley Road essential Jubilee line tunnel work is carried out.

The Piccadilly line will be partly suspended all weekend between Hammersmith and Acton Town/Ealing Common for track replacement work in the Turnham Green area and replacement of points at Acton Town.

Westbound Piccadilly line trains will not stop at Covent Garden station all weekend, while two lifts are replaced. While the lifts are replaced this will occur every weekend for approximately ten months and Covent Garden station will be exit only at all times. Customers will be able to use Leicester Square or Charing Cross stations, both of which are a short signposted walk away from Covent Garden.

The replacement work will require engineers to completely remove the existing lift cars as well as replace all of the structural, mechanical and electrical parts. Work to modify the steel structure work within the lift shaft is also required, adding to the complexity of the work.  Work on the remaining two lifts will take place from February 2015.

There is no entry  at Warren Street station on the Northern and Victoria lines Monday – Friday 7.30am – 09.30am until mid- April. Due to escalator repair work the station will operate as exit and interchange only for those two hours on weekday mornings. Customers should use nearby Goodge Street Northern line station instead. If you need the Victoria line take the Northern line from Goodge Street, then change onto the Victoria line at either Warren Street or Euston.
