Tube station - travel information
We will keep Tottenham Court Road station open as much as possible during construction, but we may need to close it at weekends and earlier in the evenings. We may also need to restrict interchange between the Central and Northern lines at times.
We will keep you informed of how service changes may affect your journey through leaflets, posters, public address announcements, emails and articles in the London media.
Planning ahead will help minimise disruption to your journey. For the most up-to-date information use Journey Planner, see our range of Travel Tools or call our 24-hour travel information line on 020 7222 1234.
Best practice construction
Construction will meet best practice standards and be overseen by various procedures and standards.
These include those laid down by Parliament, and the considerate construction schemes of the London Borough of Camden and the City of Westminster.
