Serious Disruption to South West Trains Services

Due to a railway bridge failure east of Feltham station, all South West Trains between Feltham and Waterloo are cancelled. 

The cancelled services (both directions) are:

• Waterloo to Weybridge via Hounslow and Feltham.
• Waterloo to Reading via Richmond and Feltham.
• Waterloo to Windsor & Eton via Richmond and Feltham.

Trains running from Waterloo to Waterloo all the way around the Hounslow Loop (both directions) are running as normal.  This means that trains on the Hounslow Loop (Hounslow – Isleworth – Syon Lane – Brentford – Kew Bridge – Chiswick – Barnes Bridge) will therefore receive only a half-hourly service. 

• A bus shuttle service is operating between Feltham and Twickenham.
• Passengers travelling from Hounslow loop stations to Feltham will need to change to buses at Twickenham.
• Passengers travelling from Hounslow loop stations to Ashford or Staines will need to change to buses at Twickenham then to trains at Feltham.
• Passengers travelling from Hounslow loop stations to stations between Egham and Weybridge or Egham and Reading will need to change to buses at Twickenham then to Windsor & Eton trains at Feltham then to Weybridge or Reading trains at Staines.
• First Great Western trains are accepting South West Trains tickets between London and Reading/Windsor.
• London Buses are accepting South West Trains tickets between Feltham, Osterley and Hounslow.
• London Underground are accepting South West Trains tickets between Osterley, Richmond and Central London.

Passengers wishing to travel between Feltham and Waterloo are advised to make alterative arrangements.  The recommended route is bus routes H25, H26, 90, 285 or 490 to Hatton Cross underground station then Piccadilly Line train to central London.

This disruption is expected to last at least until the end of the week and possibly longer.
