Mildmay Line suspended between Willesden Junction and Richmond after power fault
12 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Passengers on the Mildmay Line are facing disruption this morning after a fault with the overhead power lines at Acton Central knocked out all services between Willesden Junction and Richmond. The rest of the line is running normally.
For Chiswick residents, this means no Mildmay Line trains calling at Acton Central — a station that has become a useful interchange since the Overground network was rebranded and expanded. Those needing to travel north or east via that route should instead use London Underground services, which TfL says it is accepting Mildmay Line tickets on.
The disruption is separate from — but compounds — a busy weekend of engineering works already affecting the District and Piccadilly lines in west London (see separate articles). Residents trying to piece together an alternative route across the city should check live updates before setting out.
TfL has not yet given an estimated time for the power fault to be resolved. Check the latest service status at TfL's status page before travelling.
