Local Overground Service to Increase to Five Trains Per Hour
Good news for users of busy route running through four stations in our borough
There is good news this Christmas for all users of our very busy local Overground service.
Transport for London has announced that from Sunday, 15 December, the service between Clapham Junction and Stratford, taking in Imperial Wharf, West Brompton, Olympia London and Shepherd's Bush, will increase from four to five trains per hour, to meet the growing demand from customers.
Customers using the London Overground route from Richmond to Stratford will also benefit from the same increase, which means there will be a ten train per hour service on the busiest part of the route between Willesden Junction and Stratford.
TfL say that the introduction of these additional trains will also enable a more even service to operate on both branches throughout the day.
Rory O’Neill, TfL’s General Manager for London Overground, said: "Customer numbers continue to grow on these routes and these additional trains will help ensure we can continue meet growing demand."
Stations on the local routes are shown on the map below.
If you are travelling on the Overground, you can find new timetables for local service, valid from 15 December here and further information, including live departures here.
