Travellers in and around London are being urged to plan ahead as a series of major rail closures, engineering works and reduced services are set to affect journeys over the Christmas and New Year period. This year's festive timetable adjustments could significantly alter travel plans particularly for anyone heading out of the capital by train or using key transport hubs.

There will be major disruption to the Elizabeth line this weekend, with most of the core network closed and no trains to Heathrow Airport. Transport for London ( TfL) says that due to essential engineering works, there will be significant changes to Elizabeth line services on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November 2025. Because of that, the core tunnelled section of the Elizabeth line will be completely closed between Paddington and Abbey Wood / Stratford.

Circle: No service between Edgware Road and Tower Hill (via Victoria). District: No service between Embankment / Edgware Road and Ealing Broadway / Kensington (Olympia) / Richmond / Wimbledon. Piccadilly: No service between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge. Also, no Night Tube service between Hyde Park Corner and Acton Town from 1:50 am to 6:30 am. DLR: No service between Prince Regent and Beckton. Replacement buses will operate.

Starting June 23, several train services will undergo diversions and cancellations due to essential engineering works, necessitating alternative transport arrangements for passengers.
