Transport for London (TfL) is advising passengers that the majority of its transport network will be open, with services running as normal, across the 4-day Easter Weekend, Friday, 3rd April to Monday, 6th April 2026. A handful of London Underground, Overground and Light Rail systems will, however, be subject to engineering works.

The entire Hammersmith & City Line will be closed across all four days of Easter Weekend with no trains running on this line.

There will also be no service on the District Line from Earl’s Court to Kensington (Olympia) and from Whitechapel to Upminster across all four days of Easter Weekend.

The Bakerloo Line will be closed between Stone Bridge Park and Harrow & Wealdstone on Friday, 3rd and Monday, 6th April, while the line between Queen’s Park and Harrow & Wealdstone will be closed on Saturday, 4th and Sunday, 5th April.

There will be no services between London Euston and Watford Junction on Saturday, 4th and Sunday, 5th April.

The Mildmay line will be closed on Sunday, 5th April, between Willesden Junction and Richmond. At the end of the week on Friday, 10th April, due to overnight engineering works, there will be no southbound services between Willesden Junction and Shepherd’s Bush until 06:15 in the morning.

On Easter Sunday, 5th April, the Elizabeth Line will be closed between Paddington and Ealing Broadway until 07:45. When trains begin running after that time, they will not call at Acton Main Line, Hanwell, or West Ealing. There will be a reduced service between Abbey Wood and Heathrow Terminal 4 and between Paddington and Maidenhead.

On Easter Monday, 6th April, the Elizabeth Line will see a reduced service from Paddington and Maidenhead and at Heathrow Terminal 4. Acton Main Line, Hanwell, and West Ealing will remain closed until 22:30.

There will be no services from Friday, 3rd April to Wednesday, 8th April, from Bank to Tower Gateway, Poplar and West India Quay.

A reminder that the A40 will also be closed to allow for urgent safety work to be undertaken on structural joints on the Marylebone flyover. Signed divisionary routes are already in place, and delays are to be expected. A total of 32 bus routes will be affected by this closure between West Way Roundabout and the Marylebone flyover.

TfL requests that if any passengers are affected by any of these Easter Weekend engineering works, they can use the TfL journey planner on its website to find alternative travel routes.

“We have ensured that most of our network will operate as usual over the Easter holidays to help people get out and explore London. The planned closures and reduced services are essential for maintenance works that keep our service running safely and reliably. We recommend that customers plan ahead and check their routes before travelling to ensure a smooth journey.”

Claire Mann, TfL’s Chief Operating Officer
