Piccadilly Line Closures This Week | London News

Heathrow travelers brace for major Tube disruption: the Piccadilly line will be completely shut down between Acton Town and Heathrow from Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2—no service, not even overnight on Fri/Sat. It’s not a glitch, but a crucial test run for brand-new trains launching later this year, designed to boost capacity and modernize the system. While Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express remain options, the N9 bus or coaches/taxis are your best bets for getting there. More closures are coming in August, and the new fleet will roll out gradually through next year. TfL insists this temporary pain is paving the way for decades of smoother, smarter travel in London.
