The entire Victoria line has been suspended, leaving commuters stranded underground in Tube trains.

The Victoria line has been suspended due to a signal failure at Green Park, Transport for London said.

There are also severe delays on the Bakerloo line due to an earlier fire alert.

The Windrush Line is also part-suspended between Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Road due to an earlier signal failure at West Croydon.

One commuter in a Victoria line Tube carriage said: ‘Stuck in a tunnel on the Victoria line and whenever the driver speaks we can’t hear him.

‘Tannoy not working. It’s very hot, when will we move?’

TfL apologised and said: ‘Currently, we are operating with severe delays while we fix a signal failure at Green Park. I hope you are on the move soon.’

A second Londoner posted that they had been stuck in a tunnel between two stations for 30 minutes.
