Morning commuters in London are experiencing significant delays due to a signalling issue in south London and extensive disruptions on the Piccadilly line.
Passengers traveling through London Bridge and those en route to Heathrow are encountering challenges this morning as a result of separate incidents affecting the rail network and the London Underground. Now: Severe Disruption on Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express Continues
A signalling fault at Tulse Hill has resulted in a reduced number of trains operating in the area, impacting Southern services between London Bridge and destinations including Crystal Palace, Selhurst, Beckenham Junction, Sutton, and East Croydon.
Additionally, Thameslink services connecting Bedford to Three Bridges or Brighton are also facing disruptions, along with trains servicing Luton, St Albans City, West Hampstead Thameslink, Kentish Town, and Sutton.
Trains passing through Tulse Hill may be subject to cancellations, diversions, or delays of up to 30 minutes, with significant disruptions anticipated until approximately 9 a.m.
Current Status of Transport Services
Meanwhile, the Piccadilly line is experiencing severe delays between Acton Town and both Heathrow Terminals and Uxbridge due to overrunning engineering work. Minor delays are also reported for eastbound services between Acton Town and Cockfosters.
Live updates indicate the following:

- Piccadilly Line: Minor delays persist following the late completion of engineering work.
- Bakerloo Line: Minor delays are reported due to train cancellations.
- Circle Line: Severe delays are ongoing while TfL resolves issues with a faulty train at Wood Lane. Passengers are advised that tickets are being accepted on London Buses.
- Hammersmith and City Line: Minor delays are affecting services between Hammersmith and Edgware Road due to an earlier fault at Goldhawk Road, although the rest of the line is functioning well.
- Woolwich Ferry: The service is currently suspended due to fog, which has resulted in poor visibility. Passengers are encouraged to seek alternative river crossings while the service remains halted.
