All the TfL Lines Closed on the Final Weekend before Christmas
Shoppers hoping to pick up last-minute gifts will face some travel disruption on the final weekend before Christmas (December 20 – December 21). Three sections of the London Overground will be part-shut, including one service departing from Euston station, Transport for London has confirmed.
This is a result of preservation work on the tracks that is due to take place both in the morning and overnight. This precedes a longer closure over the festive period and throughout January and February.
However, unlike previous months, there are to be no changes to the Tube network across either Saturday or Sunday. The same cannot be said for December 25 and New Year’s Eve – see a full list of transport advice. You can find every closure across the London Overground, DLR and Elizabeth line below.
