Credit:The Waterloo & City line has been forced to close from Thursday until early January due to Covid-related staff absences.
The 'drain', which shuttles commuters between Waterloo and Bank, was closed as drivers were being diverted to the Central line, one of the busiest Tube lines. A TfL spokesperson said: "Like many businesses and organisations around the country, we are experiencing the effects of the pandemic with a number of staff ill due to Covid or self-isolating.
"Customers will still have a wide range of travel options, and while we continue to do all we can to keep operating a normal service, we advise everyone to check our website and the TfL Go app before they travel as other services may be affected at short notice by staff absences."
