This is because of updates to and maintenance of the line, they noted. They advised those relying on the service for their travels during these dates to plan their route, check ahead and allow more time for their journey. Andrea Platania, operations manager at airport transfer platform Transfeero, agreed, saying: “The Piccadilly line is a useful route for many Heathrow passengers, but the mistake is assuming it will always be the simplest option without checking. “Tube closures do not only affect the exact station you are travelling from. They can affect connections, late-night journeys, hotel routes and the amount of time you need to move across London with luggage... If you are landing at Heathrow this summer, or travelling to the airport for a flight, check the whole journey before you set off.” When will the Piccadilly line face Heathrow disruptions? The Piccadilly Line night Tube, which services Heathrow on Friday and Saturday nights, is set to close entirely on: Friday 31 July Friday 30 October-Sunday 1 November. The Night Tube will also face part closures between Hyde Park Corner and Northfields on Friday 18 September, and between Hammersmith and Heathrow and Uxbridge on Friday 16-Sunday 18 October and Friday 20-Sunday 22 November. Cockfosters to Heathrow will not run on Saturday 1-Sunday 2 August, too. Keep an eye on your journey even if it doesn’t fall on these dates These are only the Piccadilly Line dates that directly impact Heathrow trips. However, Platania said that when you need to visit an airport, especially in the wee hours, you have to think about other closures too – potentially including the Piccadilly Line dates that affect, e.g., Cockfosters to Uxbridge, but don’t directly include Heathrow. “Tube closures do not only affect the exact station you are travelling from. They can affect connections, late-night journeys, hotel routes and the amount of time you need to move across London with luggage,” he explained. “Do not just check whether there is a Tube from Heathrow. Check where you actually need to end up. Your hotel may not be close to a Piccadilly line station. You may need another Tube, a bus, a walk or a taxi at the other end. That is the part many tourists forget.” Plan ahead and create a backup plan, he encouraged. Related...
