Good morning
A quiet few days locally, dominated less by planning rows than by Transport for London's engineering calendar. If you're heading out this weekend, check the Piccadilly line before you set off — it's the story most likely to affect your Saturday.
The big story
Piccadilly line shut west of Acton Town all weekend
From 2am Saturday 26 September through all of Sunday 27, there is no Piccadilly line service between Cockfosters and Uxbridge, including Friday and Saturday Night Tube. Trains still run between Acton Town and Heathrow; TfL is advising passengers to use the District line into central London and the Metropolitan line as alternatives. Anyone relying on Turnpike Lane or Finsbury Park stations for weekend trips west should build in extra time or reroute via the Victoria or overground lines. SOURCE →
