The May Bank holiday is nearly here, but it comes with a spate of disruption, including at one of London<\/a>\u2019s busiest stations. <\/p>\n One of the year\u2019s sunniest bank holidays is upon us, set to bring a wave of balmy weather<\/a> for parts of the UK. <\/p>\n However, rail travel over the long weekend could be less like smooth sailingdue to planned works, which will shut Charing Cross station and cause disruption at London Euston. <\/p>\n Elsewhere, the East Coast Main Line, one of the busiest routes in the UK, and Liverpool<\/a> Lime Street stations are also earmarked for bank holiday works. <\/p>\n Charing Cross, which saw over 19.7 million passengers last year, will shut this weekend because of signalling works in and around Lewisham. <\/p>\n It will also hamper travel through Cannon Street, which will close on Sunday. <\/p>\n You will need to catch a train through London Victoria and Blackfriars instead, Network Rail<\/a> warned.<\/p>\n Meanwhile at Euston, the station will have a reduced service throughout the weekend. <\/p>\n \t\t While the station won\u2019t have to close, the laying of new track near Willesden and Primrose Hill means it will have a reduced service on the bank holiday weekend. <\/p>\n There will be no London Overground Lioness line between Euston and Kilburn High Road until Tuesday.<\/p>\n Other UK rail disruptions on May bank holiday<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tLatest London news\t\t\t<\/p>\n To get the latest news from the capital, visit Metro’s London news hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n Other rail disruptions will affect travel in Liverpool, Manchester<\/a>, and West and North Yorkshire. <\/p>\n Liverpool Lime Street will be closed on Sunday, May 3, and Monday, May 4. for new signalling works. <\/p>\n Between York<\/a> and Darlington, buses will replace trains between Saturday and Monday for the rebuilding of a junction, while major improvements between Manchester, Huddersfield and Leeds<\/a> will see trains diverted and changes until May 25. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tFull list of May bank holiday Tube closures \t\t\t<\/p>\n Bank holidays are an ideal time for works that keep the massive London transport network moving. <\/p>\n There is a host of planned engineering coming up on the TfL network too. <\/p>\n Here is a full list of them. <\/p>\n London Underground<\/p>\n Metropolitan line \u2013 Closed from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Amersham, Chesham and Watford between Saturday, May 2 and Monday, May 4 <\/p>\n Elizabeth line<\/p>\n Closures from Stratford to Shenfield until 11.30am, and from Paddington to Ealing Broadway until 7.45am on Sunday, May 3<\/p>\n Overground<\/p>\n Liberty line \u2013 Closed from Romford to Upminster until 10.30am on Sunday, May 3 Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more stories like this, check our news page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Exterior](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SEI_294974521-f3b0.jpg\")
