From HS2 (didn’t know they cared)
UPDATE:
We wrote to you recently to let you know that there would be a short lane closure on Harvil Road on Saturday 18 June 2022. The lane closure was required to allow for remedial works from Harvil Road from the junction of Skip Lane, down to our Gate1 site entrance.
Due to the Ickenham Festival taking place on the same weekend, we have delayed these works and will update you as soon as we have a rescheduled date.
From TfL
Between Friday 3 June and Sunday 10 July, RMT strike action will be taking place across various London Underground stations. Between these dates, journeys may be impacted by short notice station closures, although we are doing everything we can to keep stations open.
On Monday 6 June, severe disruption across the network is expected from start of service until 08:00 on Tuesday morning, with many stations, especially those in the centre, closed.
Train services will still run but will only be stopping at stations that are open, which could change throughout the day due to staffing levels.
You are advised to avoid travelling on Monday 6 June. If travel on Monday 6 June cannot be avoided, please travel after 08:00 and complete journeys by 18:00. On Tuesday 7 June, some stations may still be closed at the beginning of the day and you are advised to travel after 08:00.
Further details can be found on our website
We are doing everything we can to minimise the impact, but please allow more time for your journey, check before you travel or use TfL Go to plan your journey.
