As ever - these graphics are often the most useful for navigating the upcoming strikes. It’s worth saying that in some cases a skeletal service on LU may still run, so check before you travel.

It’s SO good to see we’re finally advertising this interchange to the Elizabeth Line at Oxford Circus. It’s been a huge missed opportunity for ages.
A long but enjoyable ride on the 43 bus from London Bridge towards Friern Barnet last night. Route goes via Bank / Moorgate, Angel, Islington, Holloway, Archway, Highgate and Muswell Hill.
Battersea tube station's new entrance opening soon.
A new station at Brixton on the Windrush Line seems like an absolute no brainer from a demand perspective - but unfortunately engineering constraints mean the new station would cost in the region of £120 million to build.
Choral concerts in the old tunnel shaft of Brunel’s famous Thames Tunnel in Rotherhithe. The acoustics are out of this world, you just have to put up with a Windrush Line train every 3 mins.
Stellar performance from the incredible @glyndebourne cast last night performing the Mozart’s comedy opera ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ at the @bbcproms. The promming arena was packed!
Not that I want to play politics, but if we can no longer justify the business case for @Crossrail2, how do we expect to be able to fund this? Doesn’t Manchester already have an extensive tram network?

Every city and every council should be funded and empowered to have its own skilled, proud in-house team like this. Brilliant.

New Piccadilly Line train seen at South Kensington during first test runs. itv.com/news/london/20…
Best deal ever. £6.86 to prom, booked today. Another reason to ❤️ London @RoyalAlbertHall #BBCProms #LetsDoLondon
Beautiful spot just behind King’s Place in Kings Cross overlooking Battlebridge Basin and the London Canal Museum☀️
Finally was able to stain the wood board of my kitchen counter that has once been an old Munich subway car 🚉 Now it's really finished and I still love it!~
Lovely evening walk along the North Downs from Cuxton to Detling. Including plenty of HS1 action around Kit’s Coty.
You can’t beat a sunset arrival into Heathrow
My last day in Edinburgh had some great rail action. Friends took me to see the views of the Forth from Queensferry + a quick ride on the @EdinburghTrams extension to Newhaven.
Back on the Edinburgh trams. Looking forward to trying out the Leith / Newhaven extension. Run to airport feels quite slow.
Team Away Day at Acton Depot. Shown around by the wonderful Keith who is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and exhibits. Always nice to see RM1 too.
