There will be no Jubilee Line service through North Greenwich this weekend – affecting fans heading to Charlton Athletic’s FA Cup match against Chelsea and people going to the O2 Arena.
On Southeastern Metro, the Bexleyheath line will also be closed all weekend, along with Lewisham station, adding to the disruption for travellers in SE London.
The Jubilee Line will be closed between Finchley Road and Stratford on both Saturday and Sunday. With the last trains running at about 12.30am on Saturday morning, there will be no Night Tube all weekend.
Only limited replacement bus services will be in place: the JL3 between North Greenwich and Canning Town only, and a non-stop JL4 between North Greenwich and Stratford City bus station, next to the Westfield shopping centre.
The closure comes with a big crowd expected at The Valley for Charlton’s FA Cup third round match against Chelsea, a game that has been moved to 8pm on Saturday thanks to the FA’s new TV deal with TNT Sports. The match will be the first time the clubs have met for 19 years, and the first match for Chelsea’s new manager, Liam Rosenior.
Thousands more people attending Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live at the O2 will also find their journeys to North Greenwich more difficult.
Elsewhere, Lewisham station will be closed all weekend, and no trains will run via the Bexleyheath line, with replacement buses between New Cross and Dartford. This will include no trains at Blackheath, Kidbrooke or Eltham, with the trains that would normally run to Victoria cancelled.
Trains that usually run via Lewisham and Woolwich will be diverted via Deptford, Greenwich, Maze Hill and Westcombe Park, providing some extra trains for those put out by the Jubilee Line closure.
