Piccadilly line: no service west of Acton Town or east of Uxbridge today

The Piccadilly line is running a significantly reduced service today, Sunday 27 September, with no trains operating between Cockfosters and Uxbridge — a closure that affects anyone hoping to travel by tube through central Chiswick-adjacent stations on this route.
Trains are continuing to run between Acton Town and Heathrow only, making this a poor option for most journeys across west London today. TfL is directing passengers to a handful of alternatives depending on their destination.
For travel between central London and Acton Town or Ealing Common, the District line is accepting passengers and providing the most direct like-for-like cover. The Metropolitan line is covering the Rayners Lane to Uxbridge stretch. Anyone heading to Heathrow should use the Elizabeth line, which continues to serve the airport from Paddington and other central stops. Replacement buses are also in operation along the affected corridor, though journey times will be longer.
The closure began at 0200 on Saturday 26 September and runs through all of today, including Night Tube services. Plan extra time if you need to travel. Full status updates are on the TfL service status page.
