Boxing day transport

[nunhead_man]

We have a visitor who is leaving on Boxing Day - does anyone know if the DLR will be affected by industrial action?

Guest needs to get to City Airport

Ring DLR?

[Bic Basher]

The DLR is open on Boxing Day, however no service between Bank/Tower Gateway and Poplar/West India Quay due to planned engineering works.

For the rest of us, the buses are running a Sunday service from 0830, Southern, Southeastern and London Overground are shut.

ASLEF are the only union on strike, so there will be some form of a tube service too, but don't expect the full network to be open.

Received this email from London Transport yesterday evening, if it helps anyone:

TRANSPORT FOR LONDON

Dear ,

I am writing to let you know that the ASLEF union have called a Tube strike. There is likely to be significant disruption to Tube services throughout Boxing Day, Monday 26 December.

Bus, DLR and Tramlink services will operate, although some of these will have a reduced service. Cycling or walking may be practical options for many.

Please check local news and travel reports before you travel. To plan your journey in advance, or for live travel news on the day, please visit tfl.gov.uk

Please also note that on Christmas Day, Sunday 25 December, there is no service on the entire network. On Boxing Day, Monday 26 December there will be no London Overground service. For a comprehensive guide to services during the festive period please visit tfl.gov.uk/festivetravel

Yours sincerely,

Mike Brown

Managing Director

From what's being reported in transport circles, only the Victoria, Central and Hammersmith and City lines will operate within Zone 1.

Lines which are of most use to us in ED, such as the Northern, Bakerloo and Jubilee will be curtailed, the latter only open in NW London.
