Mildmay Line disrupted between Highbury & Islington and Stratford after lineside fire

A lineside fire at Stratford on Friday afternoon led to the Mildmay Line being suspended between Highbury & Islington and Stratford on Friday evening, with knock-on disruption expected to continue into Saturday morning on 12 July. Services on the rest of the line were running normally as of the latest update, and London Underground is accepting Mildmay Line tickets on its own services. Check the TfL status page before travelling.
Separately on Friday evening, TfL also confirmed that the late-night 2159 service from Stratford to Richmond would terminate early at Camden Road, and the 2318 from Richmond to Willesden Junction would not run at all — cancellations that will have caught some Friday-night travellers out.
The Mildmay Line, which connects Richmond to Stratford via Chiswick and Gunnersbury, has experienced repeated disruption in recent weeks. Residents using it for early Saturday journeys are strongly advised to check live status before setting out.
