Travel chaos hits commuters as delays hit four major Tube lines
Delays and cancellations hit four major Tube lines on Monday morning
Commuters faced severe travel chaos at the start of the week as delays and cancellations hit four major Tube lines on Monday (16th January).
The Central, Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines all reported delays, with some closures at key stations causing disruption to journeys.
On the Central line, delays were caused by an earlier signal failure at Holborn, which has now been resolved. However, minor delays are still expected throughout the day.
Jubilee line services suspended at several stations
Services on the Jubilee line were suspended between Green Park and Stanmore due to an earlier power failure.
There were also delays and cancellations on the Northern line due to a trackside fire.
On the Piccadilly line, a signal failure is causing delays between Heathrow Airport and Cockfosters.
Check before you travel
Passengers are advised to check before they travel and allow extra time for their journeys.
Transport for London (TfL) has said that all lines are expected to be running with some delays for the rest of the morning.
