00:00Kentish Town tube station is due to reopen on the 23rd of December before closing early
00:07the next day for Christmas. Originally due to reopen in June of 2024 following repairs
00:13to what Transport for London labelled the most unreliable escalators of the network,
00:19the date was pushed back twice due to degrading concrete in the ceiling and floor. Although
00:26Thameslink trains have been calling at the railway station throughout the past 18 months,
00:31passengers have not been able to change to the London Underground there, and still won't
00:36be able to until the 30th of December due to rail engineering works. The prolonged closure
00:42of the Northern line station in North West London has been criticised by businesses.
00:48Although Kentish Town is due to reopen on the 23rd of December, it will close early
00:52on Christmas Eve and reopen on Boxing Day with a Sunday service.
