London tube closures this weekend: here’s the full list of travel disruption for Oct 4-6

Another weekend, another load of tube and Overground closures. At this point, after two years of strikes, ongoing maintenance works, and unplanned disruptions, Londoners are used to having their travel plans frequently thwarted, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying.

This weekend there is a whole new wave of tube closures, so to make navigating it a little bit easier we’ve rounded them all up below. Plan your weekend accordingly!

District line

No service between Turnham Green and Richmond on Saturday October 5 and Sunday October 6. Replacement bus service DL3 will run between Acton Central and Richmond via Acton Central, South Acton (Acton Lane), Turnham Green, Chiswick Park, Gunnersbury and Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens).
