How reliable is the Richmond branch of the NNL and district line?

I was waiting at Turnham green for 25 mins for a richmond train.

Yes, it happens. Richmond trains normally start from Upminster, so they
have 37 stations before Turnham Green in which to develop delays, not to
mention interleaving the service with the Hammersmith & City, the
Circle, and the Wimbledon, Ealing, Edgware Road and Olympia services of
the District. Richmond trains also have to share tracks and an
inadequate signalling system between Gunnersbury and Richmond. Delays
there on an eastbound service can affect the next westbound run of that
train.

Richmond trains are supposed to run every 10 minutes for most of the
day, so you may be due for a charter refund if your delay was more than
15 minutes.

The NLL (not NNL) is also fairly unreliable in my experience.

Was any announcement made at Turnham Green about the delay? When was
this?
