Residents travelling in and around Edgware this weekend face disruption due to planned engineering works on the London Underground. Transport for London (TfL) has announced partial closures affecting the Circle and District lines on both Saturday and Sunday.
Service Disruptions
Edgware District Line Branch Closed Saturday
Engineering works will shut the line west of Embankment and on the Edgware Road branch, affecting Fulham Broadway station.
The Circle line will operate with no service between Edgware Road and Aldgate stations. For passengers using the District line, services will be suspended between Tower Hill or Edgware Road and Ealing Broadway, Kensington (Olympia), Richmond, or Wimbledon. Fulham Broadway station, a key access point for some local amenities, will be affected by these District line changes.
TfL has advised passengers to seek alternative travel arrangements. For those needing to travel to areas served by the affected lines, the Piccadilly line is recommended. Rail replacement bus services will be in operation at Earl's Court to assist passengers.

The decision keeps the proposed Overground line limited to the Hendon‑Hounslow corridor, despite TfL’s claim it would enable 25,000 new homes.
The planned closures come after recent travel issues for football supporters. On Wednesday evening, Chelsea's Carabao Cup match against Leeds United experienced a 15-minute delay to its kick-off. This delay was attributed to a passenger incident on the Underground, highlighting ongoing challenges for public transport users.
The match, originally scheduled to start at 8pm, commenced at 8:15pm. Chelsea Football Club communicated the revised kick-off time to fans via their official social media channels and stadium announcements.
