District Line part suspended after points failure at Edgware Road
25 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Commuters on the District Line are facing significant disruption today after a points failure at Edgware Road brought down services between Earl's Court and Edgware Road entirely. On top of the suspension, there are severe delays between Turnham Green and Richmond — a stretch that covers Chiswick's stations directly — caused by heat-related temporary speed restrictions still in effect across the network.
TfL is accepting tickets on London Buses as an alternative for affected passengers. Routes such as the 94 and 237 may be busier than usual as a result, so travellers should factor in extra time. The District Line has seen a difficult run of disruptions this week, and the combination of infrastructure failure and speed restrictions will make for a frustrating evening peak for anyone heading east or into central London.
Passengers heading towards Richmond or Turnham Green are advised to check live status before travelling. The latest information is available on the TfL service status page.
