Colindale and Northern line works
We are carrying out work which will provide step-free access and a larger ticket hall at Colindale Tube station. For more details of these improvements, see our project page for Colindale station step-free access.
We need to:
- Close Colindale station from Friday 7 June until December 2024
- Carry out a series of partial closures of the Northern line between Golders Green and Edgware
This webpage will be updated regularly.
