The line will be closed to allow for a major redevelopment of Colindale station, which will be temporarily closed in summer and autumn 2024.

There are other options for getting to campus, including local buses and National Rail Thameslink trains from Hendon Station. We'll be in touch in the coming months on plans for teaching and getting to campus during this time.

The closure takes place on the following dates, but we encourage you to plan your travel and check the TfL website for track closures and the latest travel advice when traveling:

• Tuesday 2 to Thursday 11 April
• Saturday 8 to Sunday 9 June
• Saturday 15 to Sunday 16 June
• Saturday 29 to Sunday 30 June

Further closures on the Northern line are expected in summer and autumn this year, which will be announced by TfL later this year.

Classes and timetabled sessions

Teaching will remain as scheduled for most subject areas across the University, so if you have on campus sessions, please plan alternative travel routes in advance.

If there are changes to scheduled teaching, then these will be communicated to you locally by your programme teams.

The following areas have confirmed that changes to scheduled teaching will be taking place:

• For Education students, scheduled teaching will be made available online
• For London Sport Institute students, whilst no teaching is scheduled, scheduled drop-in sessions will be made available online
• For Nursing students, year 3 undergraduate teaching will be made available online. Undergraduate Nursing students in years 1 and 2 will continue to have skills sessions taking place at StoneX. Other sessions will be moved online
• For Psychology students, no teaching will be impacted as the affected week is used for assessment support and tutorials. These will be provided online for those who find it difficult to travel to campus
• For Social Work students, for affected groups, teaching sessions will be provided online
• All programmes in Arts and Creative Industries have confirmed on-campus teaching during the closure period, due to the need for specialist spaces and resources

Alternate routes to campus

Temporary bus route

• A temporary bus will run between Golders Green and Canons Park (for Jubilee line), stopping at all stations between Golders Green and Edgware including Hendon Central
• If you're traveling to/from Edgware, it's faster to travel via Canons Park on the Jubilee line. Local buses 79 and 186 also serve the Edgware area and Canons Park station
• If you're traveling to/from Golders Green, you can also use local bus routes 183 and 240 to get to campus from the station
• The bus runs on all closure days, but not during Night Tube hours. Overnight, use the N5 bus instead

Local buses to the Jubilee line

It may be faster to travel via the Jubilee line on these buses:

• 79 and 186 serve the Edgware area and Canons Park station
• 114 serves the Burnt Oak area and Queensbury station
• 204 and 303 serve the Colindale area and Kingsbury station

Thameslink services

• There are Thameslink services to and from Hendon National Rail station with central London destinations including St Pancras, Farringdon, City Thameslink (for St Paul's), Blackfriars and London Bridge
• The Superloop SL10 and 183 serve the station
• Thameslink fares apply

Northern Line (High Barnet branch)

• During the closure, the High Barnet branch of the Northern Line will continue to run as normal. During this time, depending on your start destination, you might prefer to travel to Finchley Central, which is a 10-minute journey to campus on local bus routes 125, 143, 326 and SL10 which all stop very close by to campus.

Superloop

• Just as a reminder, the SL10 (Superloop) service runs close by to campus, with quick and speedy connections to various stations across North-West London including Finchley Central, Hendon National Rail and Kingsbury.

Colindale station closure

Colindale station will be closed from Friday 7 June 2024, re-opening in December 2024. During the closure, trains will not stop at Colindale and there will be no replacement buses.
