London Underground station closures
There have been more than 900 confirmed cases of coronavirus in London - where the virus is spreading faster than in other parts of the UK.
When Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged people to work from home and to avoid bars, pubs and restaurants earlier this week, it led to a sudden drop in passenger numbers on the London Underground network.
Now, up to 40 London Underground stations are to be shut as the city attempts to reduce the effect of the coronavirus outbreak.
Transport for London (TfL) has announced that there will be a partial shutdown of the network from Thursday morning.
Additionally, there will be no night Tube and bus services will also be reduced, TfL said.
The stations on the closure list are:
- Bakerloo Line: Lambeth North, Regents Park, Warwick Avenue, Kilburn Park, Charing Cross
- Central Line: Holland Park, Queensway, Lancaster Gate, Chancery Lane, Redbridge
- Circle Line: Bayswater, Great Portland Street, Barbican
- District Line: Bow Road, Stepney Green, Mansion House, Temple, St James's Park, Gloucester Road
- Jubilee Line: Swiss Cottage, St John's Wood, Bermondsey, Southwark
- Northern Line: Tuffnell Park, Chalk Farm, Mornington Crescent, Goodge Street, Borough, Clapham South, Tooting Bec, South Wimbledon, Hampstead
- Piccadilly Line: Caledonian Road, Arsenal, Covent Garden, Hyde Park Corner, Bounds Green, Manor House
- Victoria Line: Pimlico, Blackhorse Road
TfL has advised passengers to check the website for live updates.
TFL also sent out a tweet at about 05:30 listing some stations marked as "closure".
They are Arsenal; Barbican; Borough, Bounds Green; Bow Road; Covent Garden; Goodge St; Hampstead and Manor House.
But do check as this list could change.
