YOUR TRAVEL OPTIONS

All trains between Feltham and Waterloo are cancelled.

Buses are replacing trains between Twickenham, Whitton and Feltham. Buses will be running every 5 minutes (every 10 minutes between 05:00 and 06:30, and between 20:05 and 00:25 (from Feltham) / 00:55 (from Twickenham)).

Alternatively, customers can take bus routes H25, H26, 90, 285 or 490 to Hatton Cross underground station then Piccadilly Line trains to central London.

This means that stations on the Hounslow Loop (Hounslow – Isleworth – Syon Lane – Brentford – Kew Bridge – Chiswick – Barnes Bridge) will therefore receive only a half-hourly service.

Passengers travelling from Hounslow loop stations to Feltham will need to change to shuttle buses at Twickenham or to route 235 at Isleworth station.

Passengers travelling from Hounslow loop stations to Ashford or Staines will need to change to shuttle buses at Twickenham or to route 235 at Isleworth station then to trains at Feltham.
