Severe rush hour delays on Elizabeth line after works finish late 

Commuters face travel disruption on the London Underground this morning after planned works didn’t finish on time.

The first rush hour after the bank holiday weekend is off to a sticky start for those travelling on the Elizabeth line this morning.

The line has severe delays in west London between Heathrow Terminal T4 and Terminal 5 and Paddington, and Reading and Paddington station.

There are also minor delays between Abbey Wood and Paddington because of the late finish of engineering works, the latest TfL travel status update shows.

One frustrated passenger took to X after the disruption: ‘First day back to work after a bank holiday so naturally the Elizabeth line is up the spout.’

Another commuter accused the line of having disruptions ‘every other week.’

‘Can’t they lower their expectations or something because this is ridiculous,’ they said.

Today’s commute is also facing trouble elsewhere on the Tube network.

The Northern line is suspended between Kennington and Camden Town, and there are minor delays on the rest of the line.

The Bakerloo and Central lines are also slower than usual due to minor delays caused by train cancellations.

Meanwhile, the Weaver Overground line is out of action between Enfield Town and Hackney Downs, and Cheshunt and Hackney Downs.

Network Rail engineers are on site fixing a fault with the overhead power lines.
