August 2026

Travelling This Month?

Heads-up info for August travellers across our cities.

Vienna

S7 airport line closure begins 7 September

Vienna's S-Bahn still runs normally through August, but from 7 September 2026 the S7 airport line stops calling at Wien Mitte for renovation works lasting until October 2027. From 5 September, extra buses run between Praterstern and the airport, and CAT replacement buses plus streetcar lines 18 and 71 cover the rest of the route. Plan your last easy full-route ride before the change.

Paris

République station stays shut, RER C works until 18 September

Metro Line 8's République station remains closed through April 2027 — use nearby stations instead. RER C has ongoing works until 18 September between Massy-Palaiseau and Choisy-le-Roi, and Line 6 gets Sunday closures for modernisation starting in October. Check the Bonjour RATP app before you ride; CDG and Orly airport links are unaffected.

Madrid

Metro tests driverless trains, smarter bus stops roll out

The Community of Madrid has begun testing automatic (driverless) trains on Line 6 ahead of a planned 2027 rollout, and interactive maps are now appearing at bus shelters city-wide. The 40% discount on the 10-trip Metrobús (€7,30) and contactless payment at all 1,249 metro gates continue unchanged through December 2026.

London

Tube strikes announced for early September

RMT has announced rolling London Underground strikes starting Friday 5 September for seven days, with Docklands Light Railway staff also striking the week of 7 September. Nothing is scheduled for August itself — TfL contactless and the Zone 1–2 daily cap (£8,90) keep working normally until then. Check ahead if your trip spans early September.

Barcelona

L9 Nord & L10 Nord closed until 6 September

Metro lines L9 Nord and L10 Nord (La Sagrera–Bon Pastor) stay shut for tunnel works until 6 September 2026, now in their final phase with replacement shuttle buses. This does NOT affect L9 Sud to/from the airport, which keeps running as normal. The 40% discount on T-Casual/T-Usual tickets continues through December 2026.

Singapore

Downtown Line trims Friday nights, otherwise smooth running

Until 5 September, Downtown Line trains stop at 11:30pm on Fridays and restart at 8:30am on Saturdays for planned maintenance — switch to a connecting line or bus if you're out late. Tourist Day Pass prices remain attractive (3-day pass SGD 29), and full night service continues on all other lines.
