The Postal Museum is opening its Mail Rail tunnels for after-hours exploration in October. The £58 tours allow visitors to walk through the disused underground network, including platforms and a 'train graveyard'.
London Travel News records the status of every Tube line, the Elizabeth line, the DLR and the London Overground as it changes, and keeps the record. That makes it possible to say not only what is delayed now, but how often it has been delayed lately — which no operator publishes.
Every line, its current status, and how long the current disruption has lasted.
Which lines have been disrupted most over the last thirty days, from our own record.
Announced strike dates, which lines are affected, and what runs during one.
Planned and unplanned road closures across the capital.
Live status is Transport for London’s own open data. The reliability figures are our record of that data over time, kept because TfL publishes the present and not the past — they are our arithmetic, not an official TfL statistic.
