Chiswick-area commuters and Sunday travellers face a disrupted day on the Mildmay Line after a late-running freight train caused a full suspension of services this morning, Sunday 4 October.
TfL confirmed that London Underground is accepting tickets via any reasonable alternative route while the suspension is in place, so passengers should use other Underground, Overground or bus services as needed. TfL service status
Separately, a pre-planned reduced service is also in effect for the whole of today. Trains are operating only between Kensington Olympia and Clapham Junction, using platform 17 at Clapham Junction. Travellers heading for stations beyond those points will need to make alternative arrangements. TfL service status
Southern Railway services are also affected, with trains not running between Shepherds Bush and Watford Junction until 12:00 and again after 21:00 today.
Residents planning to travel by rail today are advised to check live TfL updates before setting out, allow extra time, and consider bus or Elizabeth line alternatives where possible. National Rail's journey planner and the TfL app can both show live disruption information.
