Mildmay line disruption affected late Richmond–Stratford services last night
13 October 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Passengers travelling on the Mildmay Overground line on Monday evening experienced disruption to two late services between Richmond and Stratford.
The 21:48 departure from Richmond terminated early at Willesden Junction at approximately 22:06, rather than continuing to Stratford. The return 23:00 service from Stratford to Richmond did not run at all. Travellers relying on those trains would have needed to find alternative arrangements at short notice — a particular inconvenience for anyone heading home late on a Monday night.
The disruptions appear to have been resolved overnight, and no further issues were flagged as of this morning. Passengers who regularly use the Richmond–Stratford route — which runs through Gunnersbury and Kew Gardens — are advised to check before travelling during off-peak hours, as late-evening services on this line can have limited alternatives if things go wrong.
Real-time service status is available at TfL service updates. Disruption to Mildmay services was also noted on Sunday — see the earlier article in this week's transport coverage for further context.
