Londoners are set for a challenging November as TfL closures sweep across the city’s transport network. From the Underground to the Elizabeth line, commuters are being warned to brace for a month of track upgrades and engineering works.
While most disruptions will take place over the weekends, some weekday evenings will also see suspended or altered services, a frustrating blow for those travelling after hours.
A TfL spokesperson reminded passengers to “plan ahead and utilise the TfL journey planner to avoid any confusion.”

The planned engineering works are part of TfL’s wider strategy to keep London’s transport network running safely and reliably.
However, the sheer number of closures means travellers should be extra cautious when planning journeys, especially those connecting between lines.
Late-night services on the Elizabeth line and DLR will be particularly affected, as some trains will not stop at key stations like Acton Main Line, Hanwell, and West Ealing after 10:30 pm.
Weekend shoppers, airport travellers, and those heading out for the Night Tube are being urged to allow additional travel time.
Plan Ahead Before You Travel
TfL is strongly encouraging passengers to double-check all routes before setting out. With many lines affected simultaneously, journey times may vary significantly.
For real-time updates and alternative route options, commuters can use the official TfL Journey Planner or live status boards on the TfL website.
With four major Tube lines, several Overground branches, the DLR, trams, and the Elizabeth line all facing interruptions this month, November 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest maintenance periods in recent memory.
The advice is simple, plan early, stay informed, and give yourself time.
