As Londoners prepare for another busy weekend, trippers are being prompted to plan ahead, with several London Underground and Overground routes set to face closures and reduced services from Friday, 7 November, to Sunday, 9 November.
Transport for London( TfL) has verified the planned conservation workshop, which will affect multiple lines across the capital. The closures are part of ongoing enhancement and safety systems, essential but frequently inconvenient for commuters.
Friday, 7 November
Metropolitan Line: No service between Baker Street and Aldgate due to a track fault identified at Baker Street. TfL engineers will be working to resolve the issue swiftly.
Cutty Sark: The station remains closed until spring 2026 while engineers replace all four escalators. Travellers are advised to use the nearby Greenwich DLR station to complete their journeys.
Saturday, 8 November
Formerly again, the Metropolitan Line service between Baker Street and Aldgate will remain suspended as work continues to fix the track fault.
Waterloo & City Line: This line operates between 6 am and 12.30 am, Monday to Friday only. There will be no service on Saturday, Sunday, or any public holidays.
Cutty Sark is still closed, and work on the escalator relief continues. Use the Greenwich DLR rather.
Sunday, 9 November
Sunday brings a flurry of changes across several lines.
Bakerloo Line: Until 7:45 am, no service will run between Stonebridge Park and Harrow & Wealdstone.
Elizabeth Line: A reduced service will operate between Paddington and Maidenhead/Heathrow Terminal 4.
Lioness Line: Services between Willesden Junction and Watford Junction will be suspended until 7:45am.
Mildmay Line: No trains between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction.
Waterloo & City Line: As per schedule, the line remains closed for the weekend.
Weaver Line: Until 10:15am, there will be no service between Liverpool Street and Chingford/Cheshunt/Enfield Town.
Cutty Sark: The station remains closed until 2026. Commuters should continue to use Greenwich DLR station as an alternative.
What TfL Says?
A Transport for London spokesperson reminded passengers to check before travelling, saying: “We always aim to carry out these works with as little disruption as possible, and we thank passengers for their patience.”
Londoners are encouraged to use the TfL Go app or visit the official TfL website for the latest live updates on the London Underground, Overground, and Elizabeth Line.
Commuters are also advised to allow extra time for their journeys and consider alternative routes where necessary.
Weekend disruptions are nothing new for Londoners, but these planned works play a key role in keeping the London Underground reliable and safe.
With vital maintenance and upgrades taking place, patience will once again be a must for anyone travelling across the capital this weekend.
