Chiswick residents travelling east on the District Line faced disruption on Wednesday afternoon after a faulty train at Bayswater caused a suspension between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road.
The rest of the District Line was running a good service, and TfL confirmed that tickets were being accepted on London Buses for the affected section. Passengers needing to reach Paddington or Edgware Road were advised to use bus alternatives or change to the Circle line at High Street Kensington. TfL service status
For Chiswick residents, this kind of mid-afternoon suspension typically has the greatest impact on those heading into central London for early-evening plans. If you were caught out, it is worth checking whether your return journey is clear before setting off — the District Line through Turnham Green and Gunnersbury can see knock-on delays even after the direct fault is resolved.
Keep an eye on the TfL status page before travelling.
