There are quite a few closures and reduced services planned across the Transport for London (TfL) network this May Bank Holiday weekend.
Closures and delays are far from ideal if you’re planning to be out and about, so make sure to check your journey ahead of time.
Be sure to use the TfL app or website for the latest London Underground updates and to plan your journey accordingly, as services can change and delays can occur without any warning.
