Tube disruption on District and Piccadilly lines affects Chiswick travel today

Residents travelling by tube today face significant disruption on two lines that serve Chiswick and the surrounding area.
On the District Line, planned engineering works mean no service between Edgware Road and Wimbledon for the whole of today, Sunday 6 September, as part of a closure that began on Saturday 5 September. Rail replacement bus services are operating along the route. A separate track obstruction at Upton Park earlier this morning also knocked out the section between Upminster and West Ham, with tickets accepted on London Buses, DLR and c2c in the meantime. For those needing to travel towards Hammersmith or central London, walking to Hammersmith station and picking up alternative services is likely to be the most practical option. Full District Line status.
The Piccadilly Line was also hit by disruption yesterday afternoon, with no service between Acton Town and Hyde Park Corner and severe delays across the rest of the line following an incident at Hammersmith. Travellers should check whether that service has fully recovered before setting out. Piccadilly Line status.
