Southern customer advice:

Southern services are unable to run between Shepherds Bush and Watford Junction, via Wembley Central and Harrow & Wealdstone.

In addition, there may be some cancellations to the south of Shepherds Bush, to reduce congestion on the West London Line route.

If your train is affected, you will need to use an alternative route, which will take at least 30-45 minutes longer, so please leave extra time.
