  • All London Underground lines will be severely affected, with little to no service expected from Monday 8 to Thursday 11 September.
  • The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) will also experience no service on Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11 September, and specific Elizabeth Line stations will have limited stops.
