Transport for London (TfL) announced the cancellation of weekend closures for the Northern Line upgrade.
Closures planned for 7-8 August, 21-22 August and Bank Holiday Monday 30 August between Kennington and Morden, will now not take place. The weekend closure for 14-15 August between Camden Town to Kennington, via Charring Cross will still take place as that closure is for upgrade work at Tottenham Court Road station.
TfL acquired Tube Lines, the Public Private Partnership (PPP), at the end of June. London Underground (LU) is reviewing the Northern Line upgrade programme, following the acquisition.
At the end of June, TfL cancelled the early evening closures originally planned by Tube Lines for the Northern Line.
The TfL press announcement says that the Northern Line upgrade is not part of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games travel plan and the Northern Line will run a full service for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
