No District Line between Turnham Green and Richmond today — bus DL3 runs

16 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.

Chiswick Park and Gunnersbury stations are without District Line service this Sunday (16 August), following a late finish to engineering work that has rolled into today's timetable. TfL has suspended the District Line between Turnham Green and Richmond for the full day, and the Mildmay Line between Willesden Junction and Richmond is also out.

Replacement bus service DL3 is operating between Willesden Junction and Richmond, stopping at Acton Central (The Vale), South Acton (Acton Lane), Turnham Green, Chiswick Park, Gunnersbury and Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens). Buses will be slower than the tube, so allow extra time — particularly if you are heading to Kew Gardens or travelling on towards Richmond.

Good service continues on the rest of the District Line, so journeys through central London via Earl's Court and beyond are unaffected. If you need to reach Hammersmith quickly, the Piccadilly Line remains an option from Turnham Green, though see the separate note on Piccadilly disruptions earlier in the day.

Check live TfL status before you travel.
