Londoners endure major rush hour delays across several Tube lines

London Underground commuters are bracing for a lengthy rush hour after a medley of issues on the Circle, District and Piccadilly lines.

Londoners hoping for a smooth journey home could face anything but after a spate of disruption across the Tube and Overground lines.

The District and Circle lines are experiencing severe delays, and so are the Piccadilly Tube and the Suffragette Overground routes.

Here is a line-by-line roundup of what to expect during rush hour.

London Tube status at rush hour

The Circle line is having severe delays on the entire route because of an earlier fire alert at Bayswater Tube station.

Journeys on the District line are also hampered because of it, causing severe delays between Edgware Road and High Street Kensington.

Meanwhile, the Piccadilly line status shows severe delays between Acton Town and Uxbridge, Acton Town and Heathrow Terminal T5, and Heathrow Terminal T4 and Acton Town.

This is because of a trespasser on the track at South Ealing, TfL said.

The Central line has minor delays between Hainault and Woodford after a signal failure, the latest TfL status shows.

And the Victoria line is also seeing some minor delays on the entire route due to a track fault.

On the Overground Suffragette line, passengers should brace for severe delays between South Tottenham and Gospel Oak in both directions, while the stretch between Barking Riverside and South Tottenham is suspended.

The culprit is a broken-down freight train at Wansted Park, which is blocking all the lines.

National Rail had a bit more information about the problem, and it said the disruption means trains between Gospel Oak and Barking Riverside are cancelled.

The issue is expected to last at least until 6pm, although this could change as time goes.
