Summarised from 3 outlets · 6 reports · Updated 6 Nov, 18:18 · Archive

London transport services face multiple closures and diversions on Saturday and Sunday, including Northern line, Elizabeth line, District line and South Western Railway changes.

London passengers face significant transport disruption across multiple networks on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November due to maintenance work and infrastructure upgrades.

The Northern line's Burnt Oak station will remain closed until Monday 9 November. Transport for London is installing a new elevated walkway, footbridge and lift to provide step-free access between the platform and street level. Passengers needing to reach Colindale should take the 204 or N5 buses from stop N, while those heading to Edgware should use route 204 from stop R or N5 from stop S. Additional buses will run on route 204 during peak hours.

The Elizabeth line will see significant service changes. There will be no service between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction on both Saturday and Sunday, with passengers advised to use local bus routes. On Saturday from 11pm, trains will not stop at Acton Main Line, Hanwell and West Ealing due to Network Rail maintenance work.

On Sunday, the District line will operate a reduced service between Barking and Upminster due to track repair work in the Barking area. Westbound passengers will need to change at Barking and cross to platform three to continue their journey.

South Western Railway services from London Waterloo will face major disruptions on both days due to maintenance around Woking and Basingstoke. Services to Weymouth, Portsmouth, Exeter and Alton will be affected, diverted, shortened or cancelled. Passengers are advised to travel via Guildford and use replacement buses running around Woking, Guildford, Basingstoke, Brookwood and Farnborough. Morning and early afternoon services to Poole and Portsmouth via Eastleigh will start from Winchester, while afternoon and evening services on that route will not run. TfL and the rail operator have said refunds will be automatically processed for certain affected journeys and that a good service is expected despite the disruptions.
