South Western Railway special services continue — check before you travel

South Western Railway is again operating a special service timetable this Sunday, 10 August, following ongoing disruption affecting the network.
The service has been running on a modified basis for several days now. Passengers travelling from Barnes station — whether towards London Waterloo or out towards Richmond and beyond — should check their journey before leaving home, as trains may be less frequent or routed differently from the usual timetable.
The National Rail disruption page carries the latest details on which services are affected and when normal running is expected to resume. TfL's own status page also lists the current situation for South Western Railway.
As a practical note: the 33 and 209 bus routes serve Barnes and connect to Richmond and Hammersmith respectively, and may be worth factoring in if train services are significantly reduced. It is worth allowing extra time for any journey involving the SWR network until normal services are confirmed as restored.
