Another day, another tube closure announcement. As well as swathes of the Overground and parts of the Piccadilly line, another Underground service is going down later this year. Sections of the District line are going to be closed on multiple weekends from May until October. Doh!

The green line will be closed for engineering works over nine weekends from Saturday May 25 to Sunday October 19, majorly affecting the western portion of the line from Earl’s Court to Ealing Broadway and Richmond.

As one of London’s oldest lines, old green has been undergoing serious modernisation for years, but this means that it’s often closed during the weekend for works. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming weekend closures.
