District Line suspended between Earl's Court and Kensington Olympia
28 September 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Passengers on the District Line are facing disruption this morning, with no service running between Earl's Court and Kensington (Olympia) due to train cancellations. The rest of the line is operating a good service, according to TfL.
For those needing to travel between the two stations, TfL is accepting tickets on the Mildmay line between West Brompton and Willesden Junction, as well as on London Buses. Passengers should allow extra time for their journeys and check live updates before setting out.
The suspension affects a relatively short branch of the District Line, but it is a useful connection for anyone heading to Kensington Olympia for events or onward travel. Chiswick residents travelling into central London via the District Line should be unaffected on the main corridor, though those needing to interchange at Earl's Court are advised to check their options in advance.
Live status updates are available on the TfL service status page.
