Mildmay Line: two early-morning changes to know about on Friday
14 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Passengers using the Mildmay Line on Friday 14 August should be aware of two planned service changes before 0700.
First, the southbound service between Willesden Junction and Shepherd's Bush will not run until at least 0615. The usual 0552 departure from Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction will instead start from Shepherd's Bush at 0600, and the 0608 second train will not run at all. TfL advises passengers to use the next service at 0623, or local bus routes 220 or 228 as an alternative. The 0611 Stratford to Clapham Junction train will also be affected, starting from Shepherd's Bush at 0701. TfL status updates
Second, the 0558 first train from Richmond to Stratford — which has been running short all week — will again start from Camden Road at 0636. Passengers joining at Richmond should use the 0608 service instead. This pattern has applied Monday to Friday 10–14 August. TfL status updates
Both changes are early-morning and should be resolved before the main rush. Checking the TfL app before leaving home is recommended.
