Travellers in London face severe Tube disruption as seven lines are set to close this weekend.

According to Transport for London (TfL), a planned closure of the Hammersmith and City line means no service will be available from 7 to 8 March.

Circle line trains will not go between Hammersmith and Tower Hill or between Edgware Road and High Street Kensington on Saturday and Sunday.

On the District line, there will be no service between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road.

The Metropolitan line will also operate no service between Baker Street and Aldgate on both days this weekend.

No trains will run between Cockfosters and Uxbridge on the Piccadilly line, including the night tube, on Friday and Saturday nights.

Trains will continue to operate between Acton Town and Heathrow airport, with travellers advised to use the Elizabeth line to reach the aviation hub.

On Sunday, the Elizabeth line will run no service between Paddington and Ealing Broadway or between Stratford and Shenfield.

There is no service on the Waterloo and City line on weekends.

On the Overground, the Mildmay line will run a reduced service on Saturday, and the Windrush line will have no service between Highbury & Islington and New Cross Gate, New Cross and Clapham Junction.

A “special train service” will run between London Bridge and West Croydon from 7am to 10pm.

TfL told travellers to use Mildmay line services between Highbury & Islington, Canonbury and Dalston Kingsland or replacement bus services.

Last month, the most dangerous Tube stations for injuries were revealed.

The new data shows more than 10,000 injuries were recorded on the London Underground over the past three years, with TfL paying more than £3 million in personal injury claims in a single year.

The station with the largest number of injury reports was found to be Waterloo, which recorded 471 incidents between 2022 and 2025.
