LONDON UNDERGROUND ALERTER

We email you when the TfL service status changes on the lines you select. You can include the Elizabeth line, DLR, and Tram too, then tailor alerts to your schedule and the disruption types you care about.

How London Underground Alerter works

London Underground Alerter is an email notification service built around your actual travel pattern. You choose the London Underground and London Overground lines you care about, set one or more time windows, and select which disruption severities matter to you.

If you want a simple setup, pick your lines, enter your commute times, and you are done. If you want more control, use Advanced customisation to choose days, add extra time windows, filter disruption types, and optionally get an email when good service resumes.
