Thursday, 27 August is the last day of the Piccadilly Line's planned part closure, which has been running since Tuesday, 25 August. There is no service today between Cockfosters and Uxbridge; trains are operating only between Acton Town and Heathrow.
TfL is advising passengers to use the Metropolitan Line for journeys between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge, and District Line trains between South Kensington and Ealing Common as a replacement along part of the corridor. Replacement buses are also in operation. Full details are on the TfL status page.
For Chiswick residents, the Acton Town–Heathrow section of the Piccadilly Line remains operational, which means airport journeys from that interchange are unaffected. However, given that the District Line is also experiencing severe delays this morning due to a separate fire alert at South Kensington, anyone planning to use District Line services as a Piccadilly substitute should check current conditions before setting out.
Normal Piccadilly Line services across the full route are expected to resume from Friday, 28 August.
