Reading the status

  • Part closure means no trains on one stretch of the line; the rest runs. TfL's note names the stretch and any replacement bus.
  • Planned closure is engineering work booked in advance; TfL's note gives the days and the stretch.
  • Severe or minor delays mean trains are running but late or less often. The note says why.
  • Reduced service means fewer trains than the timetable.
  • The Waterloo & City line runs Monday to Friday only, so it is not listed as closed at weekends here.

Planning around a closure

TfL's Journey Planner routes around closures for the date and time you enter.
