Line by Line updates

Central line

Monday 12 until Thursday 15 May
Trains will not stop at Queensway after 22:00 each night
  • Use alternative Tube services or local bus routes. Rail replacement buses will run.
Tuesday 6 May until late July
Westbound trains (towards Woodford) will not stop at Roding Valley
  • The westbound platform at Roding Valley station will be closed while essential maintenance work is carried out.
  • To travel westbound towards Woodford, take an eastbound train to Hainault and change there for a westbound service towards central London. Alternatively, use Woodford or Buckhurst Hill (both approximately 1.2km from Roding Valley) for the Central line.
  • To travel westbound to Roding Valley, continue your journey to Woodford and change platform for an eastbound service to Roding Valley

Weaver line

Until Thursday 15 May
No service between Hackney Downs and Chingford after 22:45 each night
  • Use Tube services or local bus routes. Rail replacement buses will run. This is due to Network Rail maintenance work.

DLR

Saturday 31 May until spring 2026
Cutty Sark station will be closed
  • Use nearby Greenwich station for DLR and national rail services, or local bus routes. Greenwich station is an 11-minute walk away via Greenwich Church Street and Greenwich High Road, or customers can use local bus route 199. Greenwich Pier is also a five-minute walk away from Cutty Sark station, for access to river services.
  • Since the Silvertown Tunnel’s opening on Monday 7 April, customers using pay as you go for DLR journeys between Island Gardens and Cutty Sark/Greenwich will have their journeys refunded for at least a year. Customers must touch in and out at the station as usual, and the fare for the journey will be taken as normal. A refund will then be issued to customers’ cards in at least 14 days of completing the journey.
  • Plan ahead, allow more time for your journey and check before you travel.
  • This is due to escalator replacement work. For more information, visit our Silvertown Tunnel page.

Buses and roads

Until late May
A40 Western Avenue
  • Until late May, the A40 will be reduced to two lanes eastbound, just west of the Hanger Lane gyratory between Rydal Crescent and Alperton Lane. This lane restriction will be in effect 24/7 for power supply works by an external company.
  • Visit our A40 Westway webpage for more information.
Until mid-June
Gallows Corner
  • There will be a series of temporary lane closures in place at Gallows Corner junction on the A127 Southend Arterial Road and A12 Eastern Avenue, approaching and leaving the roundabout. This will reduce the road from two lanes to one.
  • During this period all routes will remain open, including the Gallows Corner flyover, and temporary footway diversions will be in place.
  • Approach roads and local roads will be very busy during the works. Significant queues and delays are expected. Journeys made before 07:30 and after 19:00 may experience less disruption.
  • This is the first step of works to renew and strengthen the ageing Gallows Corner flyover so the major structure can continue to serve Londoners reliably.
  • From mid-June until September, Gallows Corner Junction – both roundabout and flyover – will be closed to all traffic except emergency vehicles and buses for flyover replacement works. There will be local diversion routes for traffic and temporary walking route diversions in place.
Until summer 2025
A40 Westway
  • Every weekend until summer 2025, the A40 Westway will be closed westbound between Marylebone Flyover and the Westway Roundabout. The closure takes place at weekends only from 22:00 on Fridays to 05:00 on Mondays. This is while we carry out critical safety improvements.
  • Additionally, from Monday 28 April until late May, the A40 will be reduced to two lanes eastbound, just west of the Hanger Lane gyratory between Rydal Crescent and Alperton Lane. This lane restriction will be in effect 24/7 for power supply works by an external company.
Until mid-December 2025
Lambeth Bridge
  • Until Friday 7 February, Lambeth Bridge will be closed to all motorised vehicles and cyclists between 21:30 and 05:00 each night.
  • From Friday 7 until Monday 10 February, Lambeth Bridge will be closed to all motorised vehicles and cyclists all day in both directions.
  • From Monday 10 February until mid-December 2025, Lambeth Bridge will be closed eastbound (towards Lambeth) between 05:00 and 21:30 each day. Segregated cycle lanes will be in place and westbound traffic (towards Westminster) will be unaffected.
  • For journeys towards Lambeth, bus routes 3, N3 and C10 will be diverted via Vauxhall Bridge and Westminster Bridge. Bus routes 77, 87, 344 and N87 are likely to be affected by increased levels of traffic near Lambeth Bridge. Journeys on these routes may take longer than usual.
  • Pedestrians will still be able to use the bridge to cross the river during the closures.
  • Use alternative river crossings. This is part of safety improvement works to replace the unsignalised roundabouts at either end of Lambeth Bridge with signal-controlled junctions.

Santander Cycles

The following docking stations will be closed this weekend:

  • Concert Hall Approach, Waterloo
  • Stonecutter Street, Holborn
