Everything you need to know about London travel disruption this week

Ding ding ding! Another week, another round of us grappling with London’s transport network. Though we at Time Out have plenty of love for this city’s sprawling, complex grid of tubes and trains, it doesn’t always run so smoothly. It’s very rare – perhaps impossible – for the capital to go even a single day without some kind of transport hiccup.

While plenty of London’s travel disruption is harder to avoid and work around (like stuff caused by weather, signal problems, accidents etc), some things are knowable in advance. From closed stations to suspended services, this is all the planned tube and train travel disruption in London this week (starting Monday, October 30).
