Improvement works at Aldgate

Hi all

Starting from Monday 1 March until Friday 5 March, London Underground are closing Aldgate station. What are they doing? Well, in summary, major engineering works are taking place during this period in preparation for the new S stock trains which will run on the Metropolitan line from this year.

As well as these works, Baker Street station is currently getting improvement works including a platform extension.

As a result of the closure, Metropolitan line trains are terminating at Moorgate which means there will be no service between Moorgate and Aldgate. The Circle line which also serves Aldgate will not be stopping at the station during the closure.

Customers have been advised to get off at Aldgate East on the Hammersmith & City and District lines and walk to Aldgate at street level (in fact, Aldgate East is only a 2 minute walk away).

In fact according to the weekend closures, Aldgate station will be closed much earlier than the published date starting from 27 February when the Metropolitan line will be closed between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Aldgate on Saturday (27 February) and between Moorgate and Aldgate on Sunday (28 February).
