London Underground is facing significant delays on multiple Tube lines this Thursday afternoon due to a casualty on the tracks. The Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, and District lines are all impacted. In addition, there are minor delays on the Jubilee line.
The disruption is also affecting the trains between London Paddington and Swindon/Oxford due to a fault with the signalling system and a trespasser on the railway between Didcot Parkway and Swindon. This follows previous disruptions on trains between central London and Heathrow.
Specifically, the Circle Line is experiencing no service between Aldgate and Edgware Road via Embankment. The District Line is facing severe delays, while the Hammersmith and City Line has no service between Liverpool Street and Barking, with severe delays on the rest of the line.
For those traveling between London Paddington and Oxford, major disruptions are expected until 7 pm due to the signalling fault and trespasser incident. Good service has been reported on the Piccadilly line following earlier delays between Acton Town and Uxbridge/Heathrow Airport.
Furthermore, the disruption has led to severe delays on the Piccadilly Line between Acton Town and Uxbridge/Heathrow Airport, as well as between Arnos Grove and Cockfosters. There are also minor delays on the Elizabeth Line.
Passengers traveling between Watford Junction and London Euston should expect disruptions until the end of the day due to a defective track, which is causing trains to run at reduced speeds and potentially be cancelled, revised, or delayed by up to 20 minutes.
Overall, the situation on the London Underground remains challenging with severe delays and disruptions across multiple lines. It is advisable for commuters to check for updates and consider alternative routes if possible to avoid significant delays and inconvenience.
