Welcome to another week in London. After being treated to a gloriously sunny weekend, the weather has dropped back down, the sky has turned grey again and lots of us are getting back on the grind. So, ahead of another week of commuting, we’re here to let you know all the tube and train delays, closures and cancellations to watch out for over the next five days.
The good news is that there are no planned tube line disruptions or cancellations to worry about before the weekend (still, keep an eye out for any unplanned disruption) but there are a few changes at individual stations that you might need to be aware of. Pay particular attention if you require step-free access to complete your journey.
Blackhorse Road (Victoria line)
If you’re getting on at Blackhorse Road station, be aware that there’s no down escalator service to the Victoria line until July. You’ll need to use the stairs instead.
Canning Town (Jubilee line, DLR)
There’s a reduced escalator service going to and from the platforms for the Jubilee line and DLR. Passengers can use the stairs or alternative escalators instead.
Cutty Sark (DLR)
Cutty Sark has no escalators running until further notice. TfL recommends you take the DLR from Greenwich station for a smoother journey.
Green Park (Jubilee line)
There’s no step-free access to or from the Jubilee line at Green Park station until August. You’re best off travelling via Westminster and Victoria, using the Victoria line to/from Green Park.
Highgate (Northern line)
TfL recommends that people trying to get to Highgate might find it easier to get off the tube at Archway and complete their journey by bus. That’s because the escalator at Highgate station from the ticket hall to Archway Road remains closed for ongoing maintenance works.
Kew Gardens (District line, Mildmay line)
Heading to Kew? You should keep in mind that right now, the step-free platform interchange between platforms requires a 600m journey via the street.
London Bridge (Jubilee line, Northern line)
TfL warns that the step-free interchange between the Jubilee and Northern lines at London Bridge station is partly at street level. You can use lifts from the between Northern line and Borough High Street entrance then via Borough High Street, St Thomas Street and Joiner Street head to the main Underground ticket hall where you’ll find lifts to and from the Jubilee line.
Pontoon Dock (DLR)
At the moment, there’s no lift service at Pontoon Dock DLR station towards Bank or Stratford International. TfL says you should travel via West Silvertown or London City Airport as necessary, changing to/from Woolwich Arsenal bound services.
Stockwell (Northern line, Victoria line)
There’s a reduced escalator service at Stockwell but there’ll be signage to alternative escalators that you can use.
Surrey Quays Rail
Keep in mind that the doors of the last carriage of the trains won’t open on the southbound platform of Surrey Quays restaurant station due to station improvement work.
