Tube delays spread across London as Metropolitan line hit hardest

Published at 4:01pm

Disruption has spread across the Tube and London Overground this afternoon, with severe delays on the Metropolitan line, part of the District line suspended, and delays on the Jubilee and Central lines.

The worst of the problems is on the Metropolitan line, where there are severe delays between Moor Park and Watford and minor delays on the rest of the line because of train cancellations. London Buses are accepting tickets via any reasonable route.

On the District line there is no service between Earl’s Court and Kensington (Olympia) because of train cancellations, with tickets being accepted on London Buses. The rest of the line has a good service.

The Jubilee line is running with minor delays because of an earlier points failure at Wembley Park, after severe delays earlier in the afternoon. Transport for London (TfL) says tickets are being accepted on London Buses, the Mildmay line, DLR, Elizabeth line, c2c, Southeastern and Thameslink services.

The Central line is also running with minor delays, between White City and Ealing Broadway and West Ruislip and between Leytonstone and Epping and Hainault via Newbury Park, because of train cancellations. The rest of the line has a good service.

On the Overground, the Suffragette line has no service between Barking and Barking Riverside for the rest of the day because of a points failure at Barking, although the remainder of the line is operating normally.

The Weaver line has no service between Cheshunt and Edmonton Green because of an earlier points failure in the Edmonton Green area, with minor delays between Enfield Town and Liverpool Street.

A planned closure is also in place on parts of the Northern line, with no service between Euston (Bank branch) and Morden, Charing Cross and Morden, and Charing Cross and Battersea Power Station until the early hours of Sunday morning. Replacement buses are operating during daytime hours.

Most other London Underground, London Overground, Elizabeth line, DLR and tram services are currently reporting a good service. Passengers are advised to check before they travel, as the picture has shifted through the afternoon.
