Easter TfL travel: Elizabeth line and Metropolitan line among affected services

Transport for London (TfL) has announced a series of planned closures and amendments to services over the Easter weekend (April 7-10) - but says most will continue running as normal.

Customers are being asked to plan ahead using TfL’s Journey Planner or the TfL Go app, with works scheduled for the Elizabeth Line and Jubilee line and changes to services including DLR.

An RMT member strike on the IFS Cloud Cable Car is also planned for the weekend, but TfL has confirmed it will not force the closure of the service.

Glynn Barton, TfL’s chief operating officer, said: “We have ensured most of London’s transport network will remain open over the Easter holidays to help everyone make the most of the city, but customers are still asked to plan ahead and check before they travel as some essential planned works will be taking place.

“We will do all we possibly can to ensure that everyone can travel safely and smoothly around the capital so they can enjoy the bank holidays.”

Elizabeth line over Easter

The Elizabeth line will be running a reduced service due to signalling and software upgrades between Paddington and Maidenhead from April 7-10. There will be no service between Paddington and Abbey Wood, and services from Shenfield will be terminating at Liverpool Street. Those coming in from Heathrow and Reading will be terminating at Paddington.

Jubilee line over Easter

TfL has said there will be no Jubilee line services on April 7 until 2pm due to signalling and software work.

From 2pm on April 7 to April 10, there will also be no service between West Hampstead and Stanmore.

Metropolitan line over Easter

There will be no Metropolitan line between Aldgate and Harrow on the Hill from April 7-10

Other Easter service changes

TfL confirmed there will also be service changes on part of the London Overground, DLR and London Trams.
