Everything you need to know about London travel disruption this week

Every week is a chaotic week for London’s transport network. But this week is set to be extra chaotic. Not only are there strikes (on the DLR) but a whopping five tube lines will be either totally or partially closed for a significant chunk of the weekend. Find out more about those closures here.

And that isn’t even all of the disruption set for London this week, with parts of the Overground, Northern Line and Piccadilly Line set to see partial closures or reduced services. Here’s everything you need to know about planned interruptions to TfL rail operations in the capital for the seven days from today (November 6). 

DLR

On November 7 and November 8, the DLR will be halted by a strike. Employees of TfL’s operator KeolisAmey Docklands are walking out in a dispute over pay. It’s likely that there will still be some disruption to DLR services on the morning on November 9, too.
