Trains to stop at Willesden Green Station this weekend

Posted by Tara Brady on Nov 12, 09 10:21 AM in Useful Info

TRAINS on the Metropolitan line will stop at Willesden Green Station this weekend.
To minimise disruption to commuters wanting to use the Jubilee line, which is currently part suspended, London Underground decided this week to finally let the Metropolitan line trains pull into Willesden Green on Saturday (Nov 14) and Sunday (Nov 15) so people can get to and from London.
Transport For London (TfL) said it will access the success of this weekend's special service and consider doing it again in the future.
Sarah Teather, Liberal Democrat MP for Brent East, took her fight for a seven day tube service to City Hall last month and thousands of residents in the borough signed a petition calling for Metropolitan line trains to stop at Willesden Green.
John Ball, of London Underground, said: "We hope that trains stopping at Willesden Green will help customers with their journeys this weekend. London Underground is doing all it can to minimise disruption to customers' weekend travel."
The Jubilee line upgrade will not be completed on time and will not be delivered until well into next year.
TfL is currently carrying out a multi-billion investment programme to upgrade the whole of the Tube.
Passengers are urged to check before they travel. They can do this by using the TfL website, looking at posters in stations and using BBC Ceefax or ITV's Teletext. Alternatively they can call the London Travel Info 24 hours helpline on 020
7222 1234.
