31 March 2023
There are extensive engineering works taking place over the Easter weekend, with closures on both National Rail and TfL services. Below is a summary of what is and isn’t running. TfL advise that you Plan ahead and Check before your travel.
Heathrow Airport security guards will continue to be on strike during the Easter weekend. British Airways have pre-emptively cancelled 300 flights and Virgin Atlantic have confirmed that it has limited new ticket sales. If you’re flying from Heathrow over Easter or the week before, we would suggest leaving earlier than you usually would to ensure you make your flight on time.
This page will be updated if any changes are made in the run up to Easter.
