Mildmay Line suspended between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction

A track fault caused significant disruption on the Mildmay Line through Friday 14 August, with no service running between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction for much of the afternoon and evening.
The fault, located between Willesden Junction and Shepherd's Bush, first brought severe delays before escalating to a full suspension of that stretch. At various points during the day, the rest of the line was also experiencing minor delays due to knock-on train cancellations. TfL confirmed the suspension and advised that London Underground tickets were being accepted via any reasonable alternative route.
For Chiswick residents travelling towards central London or beyond, the Elizabeth line from Ealing Broadway or bus connections offer the most practical alternatives while the fault is resolved. Bus routes 220 and 228 were also cited as alternatives for the affected corridor earlier in the day.
Separately, an early-morning part-closure on the southbound Mildmay between Willesden Junction and Shepherd's Bush was also in effect until 0615 for much of this week. Residents should check the TfL status page for the latest before travelling.
