District Line closed this morning until 10:30 — buses replace trains

Chiswick residents relying on the District Line this morning face a significant disruption: the entire line has been shut since the early hours and will remain closed until at least 10:30 today, Saturday 22 August.
Replacement buses are operating along the route while engineering or operational work is completed. Once the line reopens after 10:30, normal service is expected to resume, but passengers should allow extra time and check before setting out. TfL's live status page will carry the latest updates as soon as the line is cleared.
This is the second consecutive weekend morning on which District Line passengers in Chiswick have faced significant disruption, so it is worth building in extra time if you have morning plans — a trip to Chiswick Farmers' Market or an early dash to central London, for example. The Elizabeth Line at Ealing Broadway and National Rail services from Chiswick station remain unaffected and may offer useful alternatives depending on your destination.
