Station updates

Bank and Monument escalator work

Until late 2026, work will take place to replace the two escalators which connect the Northern line platforms with the District and Circle line platforms between Bank and Monument stations.

  • The usual walking route between these platforms will be closed, so please follow the signs for an alternative route.
  • Depending on your journey, the alternative route may be at street level. To make sure you pay the correct fare, just touch out as you exit the station and touch back in again as you re-enter.

Paddington Tube station lift maintenance

Until Saturday 15 November, planned lift maintenance work will take place at Paddington Tube station, on the lift that runs between the Bakerloo line platforms and the tunnel link to the Elizabeth line. During this time, step-free access between the Bakerloo and Elizabeth lines will not be available via the link tunnel. If you require step-free access to change between lines, you will need to travel via the National Rail concourse. Alternative step-free options between the Bakerloo and Elizabeth lines From the Bakerloo to the Elizabeth line
  • Take the lift at the front end of the southbound Bakerloo line platform to the Paddington Square ticket hall and follow the signs to the National Rail concourse

Buses and roads

Bus journeys will be affected by the following changes over the weekend. We expect to run a good service, but buses may be delayed, diverted or stop short of their normal destination.
Monday 17 November until 2027
A23 Streatham Hill
From Monday 17 November, lane restrictions affecting both directions of the A23 between the junction with Holmewood Road on Brixton Hill and the junction with B221 Sternhold Avenue on Streatham Hill will be updated and further delays expected.
For short journeys in the local area, consider walking or cycling where possible. Cycle diversions will be available throughout these works, and will be safer and quieter than cycling through the works area on the A23.
If you need to drive in the Streatham Area, allow more time for your journey and check before you travel as delays are expected throughout these works. If you’re using the A23 for long distance journeys, use the A24 or A3 instead.
The A23 will also be closed between the junction with the A205 Christchurch Road and the junction with the B221 Sternhold Avenue from 22:00 until 05:00 each night on Sunday 16 and Monday 17 November, so traffic management can be updated safely. Signed diversions will be in place during this closure.
This is due to ongoing work to deliver a new permanent road layout on the A23 Streatham Hill.
