Fans are advised to use the Piccadilly line or London Overground
Thousands of Chelsea fans heading to Stamford Bridge this weekend face travel disruption due to London Underground closures. On both Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13, the District line will shut from Edgware Road/Tower Hill to Ealing Broadway, Kensington (Olympia), Richmond and Wimbledon for track works.
Supporters attending Chelsea’s home fixture against Hull at 3pm on Saturday have been advised to travel on the Piccadilly line to Earl’s Court. The station is a 27-minute walk from Stamford Bridge.
Alternatively, you can take the Mildmay line to either Imperial Wharf or West Brompton, which are both about a 20-minute walk. Transport bosses have also warned that an entire London Overground line will shut on Sunday for maintenance.
Buses will replace trains on the Suffragette line, which runs between Gospel Oak and Barking Riverside, due to planned maintenance. Affected passengers can also use the Elizabeth line in East London, while other parts of the route are situated near Tube connections. Here’s a full list of weekend TfL closures from Friday, September 11 to Sunday, September 13. There are no confirmed closures on the Elizabeth line, DLR or Trams.
