  • Every Underground line will be affected from Sunday, 7 September until Thursday, 11 September, with the DLR also shutting down on 9 and 11 September.
  • The Elizabeth line, London Overground, buses, and national rail services will continue to operate as usual, though they are expected to be busier.
