Local London Overground Services Withdrawn Due to Cold Weather


No services between Richmond and Willesden Junction on North London Line

Transport for London (TfL) have announced the early termination of services on the western section of the North London Line on Monday night (26 February) with the reduction in services to continue through Tuesday (27 February).

No trains will run between Richmond and Willesden Junction meaning there will be no service at stations such as Gunnersbury, South Acton and Acton Central and there will be a reduced service on the rest of the line.

TfL say that due to the severe weather which is forecast for the London region over the coming days, Network Rail has put in place these reductions. This means the frequency of trains has been reduced in order to allow more de-icing trains to operate.

On London Overground, some services on Monday evening finished at 10.15pm. On Tuesday, services will start slightly later than normal, from around 6am, and there will be a reduced service of four trains an hour between Willesden Junction and Stratford.

Jon Fox, Director of Rail, said: “I’d like to thank our customers for their patience while we action Network Rail’s requirement for an emergency timetable on TfL Rail and London Overground. We are working closely with Network Rail to do everything possible to minimise the consequences of the forecast severe weather on Londoners and ask customers to check before they travel, using our website or our Twitter feeds.”
