  • Most Tube lines will be running as normal, with changes on the Bakerloo, District and Hammersmith & City lines
  • Changes to Elizabeth line services on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, including reduced service at Heathrow Terminal 4
  • Planned closures and reduced services on parts of the London Overground and DLR over Easter and the following week
  • The A40 will be closed in both directions between the Westway roundabout and the Marylebone Flyover (including the flyover)

Customers travelling over Easter are being advised to plan ahead, with scheduled closures and reduced service between 3 and 10 April on some parts of the Transport for London (TfL) network. These changes will allow essential maintenance work to be completed, ensuring the continued safety and reliability of the network.

Customers are recommended to check before they travel using TfL’s Journey Planner or the TfL Go app. Walking and cycling routes, Santander Cycles, the London Cable Car, rental e-scooters and Victoria Coach Station will operate as normal throughout the Easter period.

Claire Mann, TfL’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “We have ensured that most of our network will operate as usual over the Easter holidays to help people get out and explore London. The planned closures and reduced services are essential for maintenance works that keep our service running safely and reliably. We recommend that customers plan ahead and check their routes before travelling to ensure a smooth journey.”

Customers are reminded to touch in and out using the same Oyster, contactless card, or mobile device in order to be charged the correct fare for their journey. With the Hopper fare, customers can also make unlimited bus and tram journeys within an hour for just £1.75.
