Attention London travelers! We've got some important updates for you. Disruptions and delays are impacting your journeys today, but we're here to keep you informed.
Let's start with the District line. An electrical fault between Turnham Green and Richmond has caused severe delays. While engineers are working hard to fix the issue, the disruption continues. The rest of the District line is operating smoothly, but if you're heading towards Richmond, expect some challenges.
Here's where it gets controversial... Should you rely on London Buses to complete your journey? While they're accepting tickets via alternative routes, it might not be the most efficient option. It's always a gamble during disruptions.
Moving on, there's a signalling fault between Gunnersbury and Richmond railway stations. This has blocked the line, causing potential cancellations, delays, or revisions for services running between Willesden Junction and Richmond. Be sure to check for updates before you travel, and give yourself some extra time.
Now, let's talk about the collision at a level crossing between Waterbeach and Ely. This incident has closed all lines between Cambridge North and Ely, affecting multiple routes. There's no direct service between Cambridge and Ely, and Waterbeach is not being served. However, Greater Anglia trains are still running between London Liverpool Street and Cambridge North, so journeys between Cambridge and Cambridge North are still possible. Major disruption is expected until approximately 4 pm, so plan accordingly.
And this is the part most people miss... The Woolwich Ferry is providing a good service! It's a reliable option if you're in the area.
In other news, there are lane closures on Buckingham Palace Road due to Thames Water works. Drivers, be aware of the southbound lane restrictions and consider alternative routes to avoid delays.
The Mildmay line is partially suspended due to an electrical fault between South Acton and Richmond. The rest of the line is running smoothly, but again, allow extra time for your journeys.
The IFS Cloud Cable Car is closed until March 12 for annual maintenance. Plan your alternative transport options accordingly.
Disruption between Cambridge and Ely is expected to continue until 4 pm due to the collision at the level crossing. Trains running between these stations may be affected, so check before you travel.
Finally, there are residual delays through Rugby following a trespass incident earlier this morning. Affected routes include Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway services. Trains running through Rugby may still experience delays, so check live updates before you set off.
There are also lane restrictions on Burdett Road to facilitate Thames Water works. Drivers, expect some delays and plan your journey time accordingly.
Stay tuned for more live updates! We'll keep you informed as the situation develops. Remember, it's always a good idea to check for the latest news before you travel.
