Loss of power to the overhead electric wires between Watford Junction / Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction means all lines are currently closed. As result, trains may be cancelled or revised.

Disruption is expected until 08:30.

London Overground customer advice:

Richmond services will run as normal to Stratford. Services from Stratford to Clapham Junction will be diverted to Richmond or terminated at Willesden Junction.
