Tube stations begin phased return

More London Underground stations will begin reopening from Monday (June 8) as lockdown restrictions are gradually lifted.

When lockdown measures were introduced in March, many Underground stations were closed with only key stations remaining open. 

TfL announced on May 18, following discussions with the Government before the announcement of the lockdown restrictions being lifted, an increase in public transport service levels to make journeys as safe as possible for people who have no alternative other than to use public transport as national restrictions on movement are cautiously and progressively lifted.
