Commuters and weekend travellers on the Mildmay Line are facing severe delays today after a signal failure at Willesden Junction disrupted services across the line. TfL confirmed the fault around midday and said engineers were working to resolve it.
While repairs are under way, London Underground is accepting tickets via any reasonable alternative route, so passengers can use other Overground, Underground or National Rail services without being penalised. If you are travelling to or from Chiswick and rely on the Mildmay Line for part of your journey, it is worth checking the TfL status page before heading out, as delays can spread and affect connecting services.
Alternative options from Chiswick area stations include the District Line (noting its own part closure this weekend — see the separate story) and bus routes along the corridor. For those heading into central London, the Elizabeth line and other Overground branches may offer the most reliable alternative depending on your destination.
