23 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
South Western Railway is operating a special timetable today following service disruption, affecting trains through Barnes station. Passengers travelling into Waterloo or out towards Richmond, Mortlake and beyond should allow extra time and check their journey before setting off.
The disruption was flagged by TfL in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The cause is linked to an ongoing incident; full details and live updates are available via National Rail's service disruptions page.
During special service operations, trains may run less frequently than normal, and some stopping patterns can change at short notice. Barnes station sits on the Windsor lines route, so journeys towards Clapham Junction, Waterloo and Windsor may all be affected to varying degrees.
Residents with flexibility are advised to consider alternative routes — the 209 and 283 bus services connect Barnes with Hammersmith and Richmond respectively, both of which offer onward Underground connections.
