From 4-12 August, there will be closures for essential track replacement work there will be no service between Edgware Road and Aldgate via Victoria on the Circle Line and from Earl's Court to Aldgate East on the District Line
On the weekend of 7-8 August, the planned closure on the District line will also be extended from Earl's Court to Hammersmith/Kensington Olympia/Wimbledon/Edgware Road.
This work includes completely removing the outdated long timber track at Embankment station and replacing it with concrete slab track, which involves pumping over 100 tonnes of concrete from the road level.
This will provide better journeys with greater reliability. Further work, including replacing and packing ballast underneath the track, will help facilitate faster train speeds and reduced journey times.
