Four day Major Line Closure for improvement works Airport - Regent Centre, Thursday 29 May to Sunday 1 June 2025
During the line closure no trains will run between Airport and Regent Centre in both directions.
The closure is needed so we can carry out modernisation work of the Metro level crossings at Callerton Parkway and Bank Foot as well as other work, including bridge repairs, signalling cable renewals, essential maintenance at an electrical substation, graffiti removal, and the re-painting of the yellow safety lines on station platforms.
Replacement bus services
You'll still be able to make your journey as a replacement bus service number 901 will be running in both directions between Airport and Regent Centre.
Metro tickets and passes will be valid on the replacement bus service. The replacement bus driver will also be selling tickets. If you use a smartcard, please remember to tap in and out at the start and end of your journey.
Your journey will take longer especially if transferring between different modes of transport so please leave extra time for travel and plan your journey in advance.
Train services
During the line closure trains will be running frequently in all other areas. For the latest service updates please use the Pop App.
