Closes

A MUCH-LOVED ride has closed at Disneyland Paris ahead of a huge makeover.

Crush’s Coaster at Disney Adventure World is now closed until summer 2027 as it undergoes its biggest upgrade in 20 years.

The coaster, which takes riders through the East Australian Current, will have technical elements replaced as well as sections of the track.

In the second phase of the refurbishment, the coaster will be tested to ensure it functions properly before reopening.

Of course, the upgrade will refresh the ride’s show elements as well, such as repainting and repairs.

Crush’s Coaster was last closed in 2015 for six months but this project will be the biggest in the ride’s history.

Many people have taken to social media to express their excitement about the upgrade: “I’m happy about the refurb but I’ve booked for November. Massively underrated ride.”

Another person added: “Glad to see this happening.”

There are a number of other closures taking place at the theme park including Peter Pan’s flight, which is closed until September 19.

Pirate’s Beach is currently closed and will be until October 23 for a safety inspection as well as replacement of the ground padding.

Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups will be closed between September 21 and October 2 to repaint the floor.

La Tanière du Dragon will close on October 5 until the middle of the month for servicing.

ONE busy London station has closed until next month – and it is bad news if you are travelling during the day.

Southwark Underground Station in London has now closed during the daytime, every weekday across the next month.

The closure started on August 17 and will run until September 11.

This means that the Jubilee Line will not stop at the station at certain times of the day.

Commuters shouldn’t be impacted too much though as the station will only be closed between 9:45am and 4:15pm, but Transport for London (TfL) is advising passengers to check before they travel.

But families or tourists travelling off peak will not be able to get off at the station.

The tube station is undergoing extensive construction works above ground including two mixed-use buildings being added on top of the site.

High noise levels mean that it is unsafe to run operations during the time construction work is being done.

There will also be a new shopping area and cafe space, as well as a public garden and a play area.

The next nearest station on the Jubilee Line is Waterloo, which is around an eight to 10-minute walk away.

Once work has finished on the station and surrounding site, there will be a 15 storey building with 429 ensuite studio rooms, used as student accommodation.

There will then be another nine storey block, with 44 council homes.

Southwark station opened back in 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension (JLE) and today, 30 trains per hour in each direction at the station.

In November 2025, the station was officially awarded Grade II-listed status by Historic England.

Experts at the time even labelled it as “one of the most memorable and theatrical spaces on the London Underground network”.

A UK airline is set to withdraw all of its operations from a UK airport from October due to being “financially unsustainable” withh customers impacted to be contacted

Loganair has confirmed it will withdraw all of its operations from a UK airport in October.

The airline will not operate any flights from Dundee Airport after announcing the end of its service to London Heathrow on October 23.

The public service obligation (PSO) route is supported by the local authority and the Scottish and UK governments.

But, Loganair stated the contract was “financially unsustainable”.

After announcing the closure of the route, the airline added that it would support its Dundee-based employees to find alternative roles.

Currently, the service runs twice a day during the week and once on Sundays and has been in operation since 2014.

It was originally expected to end earlier on September 28, but the last flights will now run the following month.

The closure of its operating base in Dundee will impact air travel to Orkney and Shetland.

A Loganair spokesperson said: “Following a review of the route’s long-term viability, Loganair can confirm that its Dundee–London Heathrow service will cease after Friday 23 October, and the operating base will close.
