Piccadilly Line delays between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge this morning
23 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Travellers using the western stretch of the Piccadilly Line faced disruption on Tuesday morning after a signal failure at Hillingdon caused severe delays between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge.
The rest of the line was running a good service, so journeys through central London and towards Heathrow were largely unaffected. However, passengers travelling to or from stations on the Uxbridge branch — including Hillingdon, Ickenham, Ruislip Manor, Ruislip, Eastcote, Rayners Lane and Uxbridge itself — should have expected significant waits or seek alternative routes.
For those needing to reach Uxbridge, London Buses serve the corridor, though journey times are considerably longer. Passengers connecting from Chiswick via the District Line to Hammersmith and then onto the Piccadilly Line would have found the central section unaffected.
It is worth checking live status before travelling, as conditions on the day of a signal failure can change quickly. Up-to-date service information is available on the TfL status page.
