Piccadilly Line closure continues today — final day is Thursday

The Piccadilly Line part closure that began on Tuesday 25 August continues today, Wednesday 26 August, and runs through to Thursday 27 August. There is no service between Cockfosters and Uxbridge for the duration of the planned engineering works.
For Chiswick residents, the most relevant point is that trains continue to operate between Acton Town and Heathrow, meaning airport journeys from Chiswick are unaffected if you board at Acton Town. Those needing to travel towards central London from Acton Town can still use the line normally.
Alternative routes for the suspended section include Metropolitan Line services between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge, and District Line trains between South Kensington and Ealing Common. Replacement buses are also in operation along the affected stretch.
This story was covered in detail in yesterday's edition; the key update is that today is the penultimate day of the closure, with normal service expected to resume on Friday 29 August. Check before you travel at TfL.
