Wednesday brought further misery for Mildmay Line passengers, with two separate signal failures causing significant disruption at different points across the route during the day.
A signal failure at Willesden Junction led to a suspension between Richmond and Shepherd's Bush and Gospel Oak earlier in the morning, with minor delays also reported between Clapham Junction and Shepherd's Bush, and between Gospel Oak and Stratford. Later, a signal failure at Gospel Oak caused a further suspension between Camden Road and Willesden Junction, with severe delays across the rest of the line. London Underground accepted tickets via any reasonable alternative route throughout the disruptions. TfL service status
This comes on top of planned overnight closures on the same section — no westbound service runs between Camden Road and Willesden Junction after 23:45 each evening from Monday 29 June through Thursday 2 July, with the last two Stratford services terminating at Camden Road. TfL service status
Alternatives for the overnight closures include London Overground from Euston to Willesden Junction, the Northern line from Camden Town, or buses 1, 24, 46, 88 and 214 from Camden Road and Camden Town.
