District Line suspended after signal system failure

The District Line is currently suspended in both directions following a signal system failure, with no service running while engineers work to resolve the problem. The disruption affects Chiswick residents who rely on Gunnersbury, Chiswick Park, Stamford Brook and Turnham Green stations for their morning commute.
TfL is accepting tickets on a range of alternative services in the meantime. Passengers can use London Buses, the Mildmay Line, DLR, Elizabeth line, c2c and South Western Railway without additional charge while the suspension is in place.
For Chiswick travellers, South Western Railway services from Chiswick station on Sutton Court Road offer a practical alternative into Waterloo. The 391 and E3 buses also run along Chiswick High Road and connect to Kew Bridge, Richmond and Hammersmith. It is worth checking live travel updates before setting out, as signal failures can clear quickly or take several hours depending on the fault. TfL has not yet given an estimated time for services to resume.
