Passengers travelling on the London Underground and rail network face disruption this morning after delays.
Several Tube lines have been 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, TfL said. Passengers can use their tickets on buses, trams, SWR, Southeastern, Great Northern and Thameslink services instead.
Meanwhile, the Central line continues to have severe and minor delays.
It has severe delays between White City and Ealing Broadway and West Ruislip, and between Leytonstone and Epping/Woodford via Hainault because of an earlier signal failure.
The rest of the line is experiencing minor delays, the latest TfL travel status update shows.
Issues on the District line have been downgraded to minor delays after disruption this morning. The Bakerloo line also has minor delays.
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.
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.’
