Planned engineering work on the Mildmay Line is bringing a series of late-night and early-morning service cuts this week, affecting travellers on the Richmond corridor through Monday 10 to Friday 14 August.
Late-night trains (Mon–Thu, 10–13 Aug): The 21:48 from Richmond to Stratford and the 22:03 and 22:34 from Clapham Junction to Stratford will all terminate at Willesden Junction rather than running through. The 23:00 from Stratford to Richmond will not run at all. After 23:45, there is no westbound service from Camden Road to Willesden Junction; trains from Stratford at 23:59 and 00:15 will terminate at Camden Road instead. Alternatives include London Overground services from Euston, the Northern line from Camden Town, or bus routes 1, 24, 46, 88 and 214. Full details on the TfL status page.
Early mornings (Tue–Fri, 11–14 Aug): Until 06:15, there is no southbound service between Willesden Junction and Shepherd's Bush. The 05:52 first train from Willesden Junction starts instead from Shepherd's Bush at 06:00; the 06:08 does not run. The next departure is at 06:23. Bus routes 220 and 228 provide cover. TfL confirms the 06:11 Stratford to Clapham Junction service will not start until Shepherd's Bush at 07:01.
Residents should plan ahead on evening journeys this week.
