South Western Railway disruption continues today — check times before travelling

South Western Railway is again operating a special timetable today, Sunday 25 October, following the ongoing disruption that has affected services across the network over recent days. Passengers using Barnes, Mortlake or any other local station on the South Western route should check their journey before setting out.

The nature of the special service means some trains may be altered, delayed or replaced by bus. This is particularly worth bearing in mind if you are travelling into central London today, or heading further south-west. Sundays already carry a reduced timetable, so the overlap between planned engineering patterns and the current disruption may affect more services than usual.

The most reliable way to check is via the National Rail service disruptions page or the TfL status page. Both are updated in real time. Building in extra time, or considering alternative routes such as the District line from Richmond, is advisable.

This is the third successive day of disruption; a full update from South Western Railway is expected once the timetable picture for the coming week is confirmed.
