London Underground weekend closures: All the tube lines and roads closed on January 16 and 17

Government guidance during the current England national lockdown is to stay at home – and only certain journeys are permitted on public transport.

However Transport for London is still giving updates on line closures and engineering work across the capital for those who do need to travel.

Anyone who does need to make an essential journey is asked to travel at quiet times if possible to ensure social distancing can be maintained.

In London, this is between 8.15am and 4pm and after 5.30pm on weekdays. On weekends, the quietest time to travel is before noon and after 6pm.

You must wear a face covering over your nose and mouth for your entire journey, unless you are exempt.

Transport for London says: “The overwhelming majority of people are complying with this requirement and the British Transport police and our own officers are on the network to check compliance. Fines of up to £6,400 exist for anyone who does not comply.”

Passengers must also wash or sanitise hands before and after travel.

Until further notice, there will be no Night Tube or Night Overground service, and limited Night Bus services.
