    Get you up to speed: Every London Tube and Overground line closed this May bank holiday weekend | News UK

    Multiple London Underground and Overground lines will face closures over the late May bank holiday weekend, impacting travel across the capital. National Rail has confirmed that due to a two-day rail strike affecting West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway, no trains will run from 7am today, urging people to travel only if necessary.

    Multiple closures will affect various London Underground and Overground lines during the late May bank holiday weekend, including a partial closure on the District line, Piccadilly line, and DLR. The ongoing track replacement work on the Northern line is set to conclude on Thursday, May 28, while a two-day rail strike has led to a severely reduced timetable today.

    Transport for London (TfL) has urged travellers to plan ahead due to planned closures affecting multiple Underground and Overground lines this bank holiday weekend and recommended alternative transport options. Additionally, National Rail has advised the public to only travel if necessary, as a two-day rail strike will severely reduce service availability across key routes.

    What remains unclear — Transport for London has not specified the extent of delays and disruptions expected across other transport services this weekend.

    Anyone travelling this bank holiday weekend across London may want to check their options as multiple London Underground and Overground lines will be closed.

    Journeys through and around the capital are set to be disrupted over the late May bank holiday weekend period as both Transport for London (TfL) closures and a rail strike threaten to cause some bumps to your journey.

    If you didn’t catch it earlier this week, a new two-day strike affecting West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway services will cause a severely reduced timetable today.

    No trains will run from 7am today, and National Rail has urged people to only travel if necessary due to the small number of trains that are expected to run.
