Extra rail replacement buses will run due to the disruption
Transport for London has warned a whole London Overground line will be closed this weekend for maintenance work. Passengers travelling on the Lioness line – which runs between Euston and Watford Junction – have been told to take alternative routes on Saturday, November 29 and Sunday, November 30 due to National Rail improvements.
TfL said additional bus routes 718 and 720 will run due to the disruption, while affected travellers can also take other Tube journeys. Much of the DLR will also shut this weekend with closures between Bank and Lewisham, Tower Gateway and Canning Town, and Canary Wharf and Stratford among the affected sections.
Along with these closures, TfL said there will be disruption on the Bakerloo, Northern, Elizabeth and Windrush lines.
