And testing has been underway ever since the first train arrived in London last year.

Christmas is just a few weeks away - and London is in full festive mode. Lights displays are a-sparkling, buzzy markets are a-flogging and ice rinks are a-skating.

Several major transport services will see disruption over the weekend, including the District, Elizabeth, Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines As always, there's loads on in London this weekend to keep you busy. Whether you're going to the last bits of BFI London Film Festival, learning about hip-hop history at Somerset House, exploring the brand new Kew Gardens halloween train or getting stuck into the Black British Book Festival, you'll likely be using public transport to get around.
