Transport for London has confirmed that five lines on its network will be partially shut over the spring bank holiday weekend, from May 23 to May 25, due to track and maintenance work, including ongoing upgrades on the Piccadilly line. Passengers heading to West London are advised to find alternative routes, as trains will not run from Hyde Park to Ealing and Hillingdon on each of the three days. Night Tube services will also not travel towards Heathrow Airport on Friday.
Additionally, a large section of the Windrush line in South London will close for one day as Network Rail carries out upkeep between Wandsworth and Southwark. Rail replacement buses will cover part of the route. Here is what you need to know.
