Londoners and visitors to the city are urged to “check before you travel”, particularly at weekends, and to allow extra journey time where necessary.

The website also provides full bus replacement service information during works. So if travelling on Saturday 5, or Sunday 6 October please check before you travel to see if your journey is affected.
