I am writing to update you on service changes we are making, following the announcement by the Government to stop non-essential contact as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). We are making these changes to ensure a safe and reliable service, so that London’s critical workers, such as doctors and nurses, can make essential journeys.
From today, up to 40 London Underground (LU) stations that do not interchange with other lines will start to close until further notice. Our full announcement (published last night) is available here and also lists the impacted stations.
Anyone who needs to make essential journeys should check www.tfl.gov.uk for live travel updates before they travel to see if their station or service is impacted.
Additionally, from this Friday (20 March), there will be no Waterloo & City line, Night Tube or Night Overground services until further notice. The stopping of Night Tube and Night Overground services will enable more time for work to be done overnight and to give resilience to the day Tube service.
From Monday 23 March, TfL will gradually reduce other services across the TfL network to provide a service for critical workers to get to where they need to. This will enable TfL to keep the most used stations and services open and running. TfL is aiming to run Tube trains every 4 minutes in Zone 1, with the potential to further reduce this further.
Similarly, from next week until further notice, London Overground, TfL Rail, the DLR and London Trams will run fewer services.
We would be grateful for your support sharing this information with your constituents, particularly on social media including Twitter where you can retweet information about the service changes. Please let me know if you would like some text for your own tweets.
Thank you for your patience. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any support.
