Overview

• Transport for London apologised for District Line disruptions at Wimbledon and said a Tower Hill track fault alongside legacy signalling issues has forced it to cut back train frequencies.
• Network Rail and TfL engineers are investigating two track circuit failures and a fire alert at Southfields that have caused signals to default to red and limit service capacity.
• Wimbledon MP Paul Kohler formally wrote to TfL’s commissioner and is due to meet with officials to demand immediate repairs and push for long-term infrastructure upgrades.
• Thousands of tennis spectators have faced cancellations, severe delays and overcrowding at Southfields and Wimbledon stations, prompting advice to allow extra journey time.
• Local campaigners warn that tube problems are adding to wider transport strains from street closures, diverted bus routes and parking shortages around the Championships.
