Mildmay Line hit by severe delays on Friday afternoon

Commuters on the Mildmay Line faced significant disruption on Friday afternoon after TfL reported severe delays across the route. The disruption was attributed to a customer incident, with services affected from around 3.43pm.
The Mildmay Line — formerly part of the Overground network — serves stations relevant to Chiswick residents travelling east towards central London, including connections at Shepherd's Bush. During severe delays, journey times can extend considerably and trains may run irregularly or with reduced frequency.
Anyone caught up in the disruption was advised to check the TfL status page before travelling and, where possible, consider alternative routes. The Piccadilly Line and District Line both offer connections across west and central London and may have been less affected at the time. Live service status is available on the TfL website.
This is the latest in a run of disruptions on or near the Mildmay Line in recent weeks. Residents who rely on the route regularly may find it worth bookmarking the TfL status page or enabling push alerts through the TfL Go app, which can flag problems before you leave the house.
