So all other tube lines / DLR will be operating normally but Tuesday 27th December is a Bank Holiday here this year so those services will likely be starting a little later.
I’m not sure where the likes of google maps pulls it’s data from but the TFL journey planner only shows one month ahead so it a good few weeks before it shows the 27th December.
And TFL won’t release its final Christmas / New Year travel plan until the end of this month either.
Thank you. Can't believe I missed that - although, scratch that, yes, I can - when I originally checked the track closures, I wasn't looking at the Elizabeth Line, just the DLR. But that has been rendered moot by the exorbitant one-way fees.
I'll check back in a couple of weeks, once TFL updates. I think they're up through the first week of December right now.
Is the Heathrow Express going to be running on the 27th? One thing that kind of escaped my attention is that it's unlikely I'll be going to Heathrow from Stratford as we'll likely be out and about in the city, so the better route to plan would be from Central London to LHR instead. And that opens up more options.
