Chiswick residents travelling by District Line are facing disruption today after TfL suspended services between Edgware Road and Earl's Court while engineers work to fix a faulty train.
The partial suspension affects the stretch of line that serves stations including Stamford Brook, Turnham Green and Gunnersbury for westbound travellers. TfL confirmed that tickets are being accepted on London Buses as an alternative, and that good service continues on the rest of the District Line beyond the affected section.
For those heading into central London, the Overground and Piccadilly Line remain options depending on your starting point, though travellers should factor in extra journey time. The District Line runs frequently through Chiswick and is one of the area's main rail connections, so the disruption is likely to affect a significant number of morning and daytime commuters.
TfL has not confirmed a timeline for the fault to be fixed. Residents are advised to check live service status before travelling. Current District Line status is available on the TfL website.
