District Line suspended between Turnham Green and Ealing Broadway
5 October 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Chiswick commuters heading west this morning should plan ahead: the District Line is currently running no service between Turnham Green and Ealing Broadway following a signalling problem at Ealing Broadway station.
The disruption, which was first reported on Sunday evening, means trains are not calling at Gunnersbury, Kew Gardens, Richmond, or the stations between Turnham Green and Ealing Broadway on the District Line's western branches. Good service is reported on the rest of the line.
TfL has confirmed that London Buses and the Elizabeth Line are accepting tickets via any reasonable route, so passengers can board local bus services or make their way to a nearby Elizabeth Line station — Ealing Broadway itself is served by the Elizabeth Line if you can reach it another way, and Acton Main Line or Hanwell may be useful alternatives depending on your destination.
Residents heading into central London from Turnham Green can continue to use District Line services running eastbound toward central London without disruption. Check the TfL status page before you travel for the latest updates, as the situation may change during the morning peak. TfL service status
