TfL this weekend February 9 to 11: Underground, Overground and Elizabeth line disruptions

Londoners travelling into the capital this weekend could be faced with disruption due to closures on Tube and rail services.

Transport for London (TfL) has asked Londoners to check before they travel.

To get the most latest updates on the Underground, DLR and Overground you can use the TfL app or website.

Here is the full list of planned TfL service changes this weekend, February 9 to 12.

London Underground

Central line

TfL has apologised for the continued disruption on the Central line caused by an abnormally high number of motor failures across the fleet. Engineers are working around the clock to improve the situation as quickly as possible.

There is an enhanced bus provision at some affected stations in east London to give Central line customers better and more frequent connections to other lines. 

An emergency Central line timetable is also being developed to make better use of the available trains and remove uneven gaps in service. TfL says it hopes to introduce this in the next four weeks.
