A key section of the Northern line will close for four months to allow a £700m upgrade of Bank station to be completed.
Transport for London on Monday set out a new timetable for a 17-week “blockade” of the line’s Bank branch between Moorgate and Kennington stations.
It will be closed from January 15 until mid-May next year – about six months later than planned, due to the Covid shutdown of TfL’s major projects last year.
This is likely to have the unfortunate effect of hampering what TfL bosses hope will be a return to pre-pandemic passenger numbers next year.

A shame this has been delayed from the original timetable, much of which would have been during the quieter summer months.
