Queen Elizabeth II: TfL warn of disruption and station closures as mourners head to London
Transport for London (TfL) has warned of travel disruption and stations being forced to close as mourners for Queen Elizabeth II descend upon the capital this weekend.
TFL said it expects that many people will make their way to London to pay their respects at Royal residences which could lead to “busy services and station closures”.
It said: “We will do our best to keep our city moving and to ensure that people can travel safely.”
