Until mid-September, Bank branch trains will not stop at Kennington Tube station and there will be no step-free interchange between the branches at the station. This is while we continue our essential work to build new passageways between the platforms at Kennington Tube station, in preparation for the Northern Line Extension.
More frequent, direct trains are running between Morden and the Charing Cross branch. For step-free access, please continue to ensure you board a direct train to your destination.
There will continue to be a slightly reduced service on the Bank branch and the Northern and Victoria lines and some stations are likely to be busier again. Please continue to avoid the busiest times, if you are able to, allow extra time for your journey or use alternative routes
