District Line severely disrupted this morning — what Chiswick commuters need to know
14 September 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Chiswick commuters heading into central London by tube this morning face significant disruption on the District Line, with no service between Edgware Road and Tower Hill and Ealing Broadway, Kensington (Olympia), Richmond and Wimbledon due to planned engineering work. A separate points failure at Tower Hill has also knocked out services between Tower Hill and Whitechapel.
Severe delays are affecting the rest of the line, meaning journeys that do run are likely to be significantly slower than usual.
TfL says London Underground tickets are being accepted on London buses as an alternative. Residents using Gunnersbury, Stamford Brook or Turnham Green stations should plan for longer journeys or seek alternatives such as the South Western Railway services or local bus routes.
