Five London Underground lines closing for hours next week – is your Tube affected?
Five London Underground lines are set to be simultaneously shut for several hours on the same day next week.
Passengers are set to face major disruption on their Tube journeys around the capital on Saturday, November 11.
Transport for London (TfL) is implementing closures on the Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, Jubilee and Metropolitan lines until 3pm that day.
The blanket shutdown of the lines is being put in place to allow for a ‘transformative’ new signalling system to be installed.
Closures will begin from the start of the day’s traffic on November 11 and is likely to affect locals and tourists alike.
London Overground services are also facing disruption over the remembrance weekend with a reduced service between Kilburn High Road and Euston on both Saturday and Sunday (November 11 and 12).
TfL has warned customers to ‘check before they travel’ and ‘seek alternative routes’ on the day.
