District line delays ongoing — check before you travel

Commuters and evening travellers on the District line are advised to allow extra time after severe delays emerged on the stretch between Edgware Road and Wimbledon. The disruption, which was reported just after 11pm on Sunday 14 June, stems from short-notice cancellations of planned engineering works — meaning trains that were expected to be withdrawn from service for maintenance ended up running, but not to the usual timetable.
The rest of the line was reported to have a good service at the time of publication, so journeys east of Edgware Road should be largely unaffected. However, for Chiswick residents using Gunnersbury, Chiswick Park or Turnham Green stations — all of which sit on the Wimbledon branch — conditions could remain disrupted into the Monday morning peak if remedial works are not completed overnight.
