London tube closures this weekend: full list of travel disruption for November 1-3

Bad news, because London’s transport misery is trudging on. This weekend, TfL lines will be affected by part closures, reduced services and strike action.

There’s going to be quite a lot of disruption across the whole network, and some tube stations, like Caledonian Road, will be partially closed. There will also be some timetable alterations caused by services preparing for strikes on the tube.

Here’s all the information about travel disruption this weekend.
