TfL this weekend April 5 to 7: Underground, Overground and Elizabeth line disruption

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, April 5 to 7.

London Underground

Central line

Saturday April 6

No Night Tube service between Leytonstone and Woodford/Newbury Park from 2.30am until 5am.

Rail replacement buses will run during Night Tube on Friday night/Saturday morning.

Saturday 6 and Sunday April 7

No service between White City and Leytonstone, including Friday and Saturday Night Tube

Use alternative Tube or Elizabeth line services or local bus routes. Night Tube customers should use Night bus route N8 to/from Liverpool Street, or Jubilee line Night Tube services between Stratford and central London. Rail replacement buses will run on a 24-hour basis between Stratford and Leytonstone. This is for track work to reduce noise and vibration on the line.

Ongoing service disruption

TfL has apologised for the continued disruption on the Central line. It says engineers are working round the clock to address the issues, which has “helped deliver a more reliable service, while ensuring the safety of our customers and colleagues”.

Please plan ahead, allow more time for your journey and consider alternative routes if travelling on the Central line into or through central London.

Mile End station will be closed

Customers for Mile End should travel to Stepney Green or Bow Road stations and use local bus routes 25, 205 or 425, N25 or N205. This is for track work to reduce noise and vibration on the line.

Northern line

No service between Golders Green and Edgware

Take local buses to the Jubilee line (Canons Park, Queensbury, Kingsbury) or Thameslink (Mill Hill Broadway, Hendon) stations. This may be the quickest way to travel into or from central London during the closure.

There is also no Night Tube between Golders Green and Edgware, but overnight buses will run. Use the TfL Go app or Journey Planner to plan ahead.
