London closes Tube trains covid 19 mayor says don't travel unless you have to
London has shut down at least 40 tube train stations due to coronavirus outbreak as the number of infected people continues to rise globally. London Mayor has advised people not to travel unless it's extremely required.
Sadiq Khan, London Mayor took to Twitter and announced a reduced service to enable key workers to make essential journeys. According to London Mayor's briefing, up to 40 stations have been closed amid coronavirus pandemic in the city.
Meanwhile, Waterloo and City line and the Night Tube have been suspended only for tomorrow.
In the advisory, London Mayor mentioned, until further notice, on Friday and Saturday nights there will be no all-night 'Night Tube' service or the all-night 'Night Overground' service that currently runs on the East London line. This is to ensure the resilience of the regular Tube and Overground services. Late services on both the Tube and Overground will continue to run for essential journeys.
London buses will operate fewer services, but TfL's extensive night bus network will continue to provide critical workers with a reliable night option on Friday and Saturday nights and throughout the week.
