TfL disruption — Mildmay Line

There is no service between Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction, with severe delays on the rest of the Mildmay Line while a faulty train is fixed at Shepherd's Bush. TfL says tickets are accepted via any reasonable route.

After the North London Railway opened in Islington, cutting through the Mildmay Estate, in 1850 the land around was developed with agreeable terraced villas, with the church of SS Jude and Paul opening in 1855 of Kentish Ragstone. The Vicarage, also in same stone is at the end of the terrace. The tracks on the left will eventually become the North London Line , formerly the goods line, and the nearer pair of lines will form the London Overground line through Dalston Junction to Highbury and Isli
