Piccadilly Line running with severe delays this morning

The Piccadilly Line is experiencing severe delays this morning, Sunday 23 August, after engineering work overran overnight. TfL has not given a specific end time for the disruption, so conditions may improve as the morning progresses. Check the TfL status page for the latest.
For Chiswick and Gunnersbury residents, Turnham Green and Gunnersbury are the main Piccadilly Line access points into central London. If you are heading west towards Heathrow, allow considerably more time than usual — or consider alternatives such as the Elizabeth Line from Ealing Broadway, reached via local bus.
The delays come on top of wider District Line disruption today (covered separately), meaning both of the tube lines most useful to Chiswick residents are affected at the same time. If your journey is flexible, it may be worth waiting until mid-morning, when engineering-related disruptions typically ease as crews complete their work and normal service resumes progressively. TfL's free Go app and the TfL website both show live train positions.
