Jubilee Line closures come to an end

News from Transport for London that upgrade work on the Jubilee Line has finally come to a halt is good news for local passengers using the line to get to Canary Wharf or central London. Through the last three years, the line has been subject to weekend closures meaning that passengers from Sydenham were often unable to access the line at Canada Water.

There will be no further closures of the line and this weekend a new Jubilee Line timetable comes into operation which will eventually see great improvements with faster and more reliable trains. Capacity will be boosted by 33 per cent – the equivalent of carrying around 5,000 extra passengers each hour – and journey times will also be reduced by 22 per cent.
