London travel news LIVE: Good service on all TfL lines

Over the weekend, TfL released a procurement notice detailing plans to invest up to £700 in improving infrastructure across its network.

The framework includes plans to upgrade Elephant & Castle station and South Kensington station, and to build on step-free access projects.

Queensway station will be closed this evening from 22:00.

Passengers are advised to use nearby stations, such as Lancaster Gate or Notting Hill Gate for the Central line.

The interchange between the M25 and A3 has reopened this morning.

The scheduled disruption was part of a £317 project to demolish a defunct bridge.

Until Wednesday, there will be a reduced service on the Elizabeth line after 22:00 each evening between Paddington and Heathrow Terminal 4/Maidenhead.

On the Mildmay line, the 22:29 train from Stratford to Richmond will terminate at Camden Road from today until Thursday.

Bare beating is the most recent infraction to be added to the public transport etiquette list.

Bare beating is playing music or watching films aloud without headphones on public transport.

The Liberal Democrats are calling those who engage in bare beating “headphone dodgers” and are now calling for an explicit ban.

The party has suggested it wants to see headphone dodgers hit with £1,000 fines.

Transport for London has explained why it chose not to alert commuters to a significant power outage on the Elizabeth and Tube lines via social media.

On Monday afternoon, the nation’s busiest rail route, the ‘Lizzie’ line, and six Tube lines came to a complete halt in central London.

TfL temporarily lost power from National Grid due to a “accidental” fire at an electrical substation in Maida Vale.

Restoring service on the Bakerloo line took over six hours, and three Tube trains were trapped in tunnels for as long as forty minutes.

London TravelWatch, the passenger watchdog, criticised TfL for not doing more to alert passengers on its X/Twitter account, which has 2.4 million followers, but TfL did not post any updates.

There are plenty of things to do in the capital this weekend, as usual. And when the weekend mood starts to take hold, it’s wise to make sure that the Transport for London (TfL) network’s service reductions and closures won’t dampen your spirits.

For the most recent information on the London Underground, it’s always worthwhile to use the TfL app or website and to plan your trip appropriately, as services can vary and delays can happen at any time.
