Two lines serving Chiswick were hit by disruption early on Monday 18 August, both traced to a signal failure at Richmond station.
The District Line had no service between Turnham Green and Richmond from around 4:50am. TfL confirmed that tickets were being accepted on London Buses and South Western Railway services as an alternative for affected passengers. Good service was running on the rest of the line. TfL service status
The Mildmay Line was also suspended between Richmond and South Acton from around 5:44am, again due to the same signal problem at Richmond. Good service was reported elsewhere on the line. TfL service status
For residents travelling westward from Chiswick, the 391 and 267 bus routes serve the Richmond corridor, and South Western Railway runs frequent services from Chiswick station. Check the TfL status page before travelling, as engineers were working to resolve the fault and services may have since been restored. It is worth noting that both the District Line and Mildmay Line have seen repeated disruption on this stretch over recent weeks.
