24 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
South Western Railway is once again operating a special timetable today, Thursday 24 July, following ongoing disruption that has affected services across the network in recent days.
Barnes station sits on the Windsor line, which connects residents into London Waterloo as well as westward towards Richmond, Twickenham and beyond. During special service periods, frequency and stopping patterns can differ significantly from the standard timetable, and some services may be revised at short notice.
Passengers are strongly encouraged to check their specific journey before heading to the station. Up-to-date running information is available via the TfL service status page and through the National Rail journey planner. Delays at peak times are possible, so building extra time into any commute or onward connection is advisable.
This is the latest in a series of disrupted days on South Western Railway; the full details of the underlying cause are set out on the National Rail disruption page.
