TfL closes Windrush line at Clapham Junction on Sunday, one of seven lines with works

Transport for London lists seven lines with planned works on Sunday 16 August, against four the day before.

The status page lists Saturday 15 August by code as "MIL, TRM, W&C, WIN" — the Mildmay line, the trams, the Waterloo & City line and the Windrush line. Sunday adds "DST, DLR, ELZ", the District line, the DLR and the Elizabeth line.

The tram works run well past this weekend. TfL states: "From Thursday 6 until Sunday 30 August, no service between Arena and Elmers End at certain times." On Sundays across that period there is no service on the section for the whole day.

A second tram closure runs to next weekend. TfL states: "From Thursday 6 until Sunday 23 August, no service between Reeves Corner and East Croydon", and adds that "Additional works apply on Sunday 16 and Thursday 20 August."

At Clapham Junction on Sunday, TfL's station closures page states: "No step-free access from the Grant Road entrance." It directs step-free passengers to the Brighton Yard entrance via St John's Hill, or the ramp to the subway at Grant Road.

The same entry states that Mildmay line services will depart from platform 17, and that there will be no Windrush line service at the station.

On Charing Cross, the page states: "Charing Cross national rail station is closed. Charing Cross London Underground station is open as usual, but there are no Southeastern services to/from Charing Cross national rail station." It dates that entry "Until Sunday 16 August".

From Monday 17 until Sunday 30 August, the page states that East Ham loses step-free access to and from the westbound platform. It tells passengers to take bus 238, or an eastbound train to Barking and change there.

TfL does not set out the station-by-station track closures on its status pages. It publishes them in a document, "Planned track closures 6-month look ahead", and tells travellers: "Check before you travel using our TfL Go app or Journey Planner."

On that page TfL also states: "When stations are closed or step-free access is unavailable due to pre-planned engineering works, we will suggest other ways you can travel. These could include other rail services or local buses."

This weekend falls two weeks before the Notting Hill Carnival and the August bank holiday. TfL's major works and events page lists that as affecting the Tube, driving, cycling and walking in the "Notting Hill area Sun 30-Mon 31 August".

Two longer schemes sit behind both weekends. That page lists the Piccadilly line upgrade across August, September and October without an end date, and the A23 Streatham Hill works, affecting driving and buses, which it says "Ends spring 2027".
