The Piccadilly Line will be suspended between Acton Town and Heathrow Airport from Saturday 10th until Wednesday 14th February inclusive. The five-day closure will allow a complicated set of points at the entrance/exit to Northfields Depot to be replaced. The replacement is not a like-for-like renewal and is also taking place in a constrained site, hence the extended closure. Passengers travelling to and from Heathrow Airport are advised to use Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express services wherever possible. Replacement buses will operate between Acton Town and Heathrow Airport, Central Bus Station extending to Terminal 5 at night. Non-stop coaches will also operate between Hammersmith and Heathrow Airport, Central Bus Station. Trains will continue to operate between Acton Town and Cockfosters, and also to and from Uxbridge. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/tfl-warning-about-a-5-day-closure-of-the-piccadilly-line-to-heathrow-airport-70000/ Particularly useful to know considering Heathrow will then be busier in relation to school half term |

May depend if they are able to stable trains elsewhere along the line. Not serving the Heathrow branch would reduce the number of trains needed anyway. |

Let's just hope the Elizabeth Line actually works throughout the WHOLE of next week with NO delays or CANCELLATIONS. It doesn't take much for that line to go down which for the way it has changed the travels around London is a bit shambolic. Here's to hoping it stays working next week.

Yes I would say the works to platforms etc on the Piccadilly are too far advanced now to simply switch them to the Bakerloo which undoubtedly will probably need several works aswell in order for the new trains to fit. |
