They are all OK.

I would use "on" or "for" instead of "at" in your first two examples.

"at the weekend" is commonly used in British English.

I wonder if there is any difference in meaning between these two tenses?

I will not be working at the weekend or I am not working at the weekend? any difference
Some tube stations will not be working or will not work tomorrow is one of these tenses better to use in a grammatical sense? Any difference in meaning?

How about this sentence?

I always take the Northern line or Northern line

There is no difference in intent. The first is a perception; the second is a mandate.

There is no difference in intent. The progressive indicates a stronger feeling on the speaker's part.

This depends on those specific places; I am not familiar with the locations.
