Commuters facing severe delays across London Underground’s Northern and Central lines

Passengers travelling on the London Underground faced disruption this morning after delays.

Several Tube lines were hampered by severe delays this morning, causing grey hairs to commuters trying to get to work.

Waterloo station was closed at about 6am due to a fire alert, but it has since reopened.

The Northern line is seeing severe delays due to an earlier customer incident, which has seen been downgraded to minor delays.

Meanwhile, the Central line continues to have minor delays on the entire line after an earlier signal failure at Shepherd’s Bush.

Morning rush hour delays on the District and Bakerloo lines have been resolved.

One frustrated passenger posted on X earlier: ‘The one day I need to go in and the District line is moving mad. No trains, cancellations everywhere. I need to be in Essex for 8:30 but TfL said, “Not today.” Now red light and stuck in the tunnel.’

Other people using the Central line reported gaps of almost 15 minutes between services this morning.

Sophia posted: ‘WHY AM I WAITING 14 MINUTES FOR A CENTRAL LINE TUBE AT 7:30AM ON A THURSDAY.’

Asim Qamar is less than impressed and wrote: ‘New day, same old s****y Central Line.’

A user called OT pointed out: ‘Oh what a surprise there’s signal failure on the Central line.’
