Mildmay Line reduced and suspended on several sections this Sunday
16 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
The Mildmay Line is running a heavily curtailed service today, with multiple sections affected by separate faults. There is no service between Willesden Junction and Shepherd's Bush while engineers address a track fault at Shepherd's Bush, and no service between Stratford and Gospel Oak. Severe delays are in place between Gospel Oak and Richmond due to emergency engineering work on overhead power lines.
From Sunday morning, a reduced service is also running between Camden Road and Willesden Junction, with trains every 15 minutes rather than the usual frequency.
For residents in Chiswick, the most relevant impact is on the Gospel Oak–Richmond section. The DL3 replacement bus (see District Line article) covers some of the same corridor — stopping at Turnham Green, Chiswick Park and Gunnersbury — and may be the most practical surface alternative. London Underground tickets are being accepted via any reasonable route, so the Elizabeth line and local buses are also valid options.
