Piccadilly Line disrupted between Acton Town and King's Cross
6 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
A signal failure at Hammersmith has caused severe disruption on the Piccadilly Line, with no eastbound service running between Acton Town and King's Cross St. Pancras. Severe delays are affecting the rest of the line, making this a significant issue for Chiswick residents commuting or travelling into central London.
TfL is accepting tickets on alternative services via any reasonable route, including London Buses, the Elizabeth line, London Overground and Great Northern. For those heading into town from Chiswick, the District line remains the most straightforward alternative, with services running from Chiswick Park, Gunnersbury and Kew Gardens into central London. The Elizabeth line at Ealing Broadway is also a fast option for those travelling east.
If you are heading to Heathrow, it is worth checking the TfL status page before setting off, as Piccadilly Line access to the airport terminals may also be affected by knock-on delays further west.
