Transport for London (TfL) has announced that it will run most of its services during the Easter holidays but is advising passengers to plan journeys ahead due to planned works on some parts of its network.
TfL's Journey Planner or the TfL Go app will help passengers avoid these closures and navigate any last-minute service changes. Walking and cycling routes, Victoria Coach Station, Santander Cycles, rental e-scooters and taxi and private hire services will be available throughout the Easter period.
TfL plans to run a service on the IFS Cloud Cable Car, despite strike action by RMT members over pay rates. If action was to take place, the strike will take place over four days, from Friday 7 until Monday 10 April (inclusive).
Transport for London says that they will still operate a service, but with amended opening hours as not all staff are RMT members.
Trish Ashton, TfL's Director of Rail and Sponsored Services, said: “No one wants to see strike action and we are very disappointed to be notified of industrial action on the IFS Cloud Cable Car. We urge Mace, the operator, Doppelmayr, the maintainer, and the union to work together to try and resolve this matter and avoid the disruption to our customers.”
Essential signalling and software upgrades will impact Elizabeth line services with a reduced service between Paddington and Maidenhead between Friday 7 and Monday 10 April. There will also be no service between Paddington and Abbey Wood during those dates, with services from Shenfield terminating at Liverpool Street mainline station and services from Reading and Heathrow terminating at Paddington mainline station.
There will be no Jubilee line services on Friday 7 April until 14:00 to also facilitate signalling and software work. From 14:00 on 7 April to 10 April there will be no service between West Hampstead and Stanmore, but services will run on the rest of the line.
There will be no service on the Metropolitan line between Aldgate and Harrow on the Hill from Friday 7 April to Monday 10 April. There will be service changes on part of the London Overground, Docklands Light Railway and London Trams.
Planned works will also affect the National Rail network. TfL is advising passengers to plan ahead by visiting National Rail's website. In addition to the planned works on the Tube and rail network, there will be road works in place on Euston Road for HS2 works and at Old Street roundabout.
Glynn Barton, TfL's Chief Operating Officer, said: “We have ensured most of London's transport network will remain open over the Easter holidays to help everyone make the most of the city, but customers are still asked to plan ahead and check before they travel as some essential planned works will be taking place. We will do all we possibly can to ensure that everyone can travel safely and smoothly around the capital so they can enjoy the bank holidays.”
