Travel Alert
From Monday 21 to Friday 25 July, there will be no service on the Metropolitan or Piccadilly tube lines between Ruislip and Uxbridge whilst the track is repaired. This will obviously affect those hoping to travel to Brunel by tube. A replacement bus service will operate but the journey time is expected to take at least an extra 20 minutes.
