Ongoing District Line service problems

TfL roundel

Published On: 5th September 2026

East Putney, Southfields, Wimbledon Park and Wimbledon stations together see over 29 million entries and exits a year but there are frequent District Line service delays. That section was left out of an upgrade scheme, as in an article in Putney News.

Campaigners urge people to visit a demonstration on 17 September, sign a petition and share it with anyone else who uses the branch, as delays affect also the District Line service east of Earls Court.

More detail on the campaign’s case is at fixthedistrict.org.
