Eight London tube lines are either “partly suspended” or experiencing “severe” or “minor” delays, causing travel carnage in the capital this morning.
The Elizabeth Line has been hit with its second suspension in two days, with no service between Paddington in west London and Abbey Wood in the east of the city.
Meanwhile the Northern Line, one of the major arteries for south Londoners, is experiencing “severe delays”, as is the Bakerloo Line, the Circle Line, and the Hammersmith and City Line. The Piccadilly Line is also suspended between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge due to “significant leaf fall”.
Flooding between London Bridge and St Pancras International is disrupting the ThamesLink too. The rail company has advised passengers to delay their journey to avoid it taking longer than usual.
ℹ Trains that normally run between St Albans and Sutton will only run between St Albans and Kentish Town. There is no Thameslink service between London Blackfriars and Sutton.

The company said on its website: “We strongly advise you delay travelling until later this morning. There will be heavy disruption for trains in and out of central London, and your journey could take up to an hour longer than usual.
“There will be a reduced service between Bedford and Three Bridges, in both directions. Pleaase check station screens and planners for the latest information.”
