New Year’s Eve celebrations this evening will see multiple disruptions and reduced service across the Transport for London network. Customers are advised to check their journey online before travelling to avoid issues as best they can.
The Underground and Overground are operating on a Saturday service, with changes to the timetable made to the District line. The Elizabeth line will also see a temporarily reduced service, with full details listed below.
The DLR and Tram are also running a special all-night to ensure people can get home safe after ringing in 2025. Some buses will be on diversion to avoid the crowds enjoying the Mayor of London’s fireworks display in Central London.
