A busy portion of the Northern line on the London Underground has come to a standstill due to a fire alert at Elephant & Castle.
There are currently severe delays northbound between Kennington in south London and Camden Town station in the north, via Bank.
To make matters worse there is no service between Moor Park and Amersham/ Chesham due to a signal failure at Moor Park and there are also minor delays on the Bakerloo and Waterloo & City line.
A reduced service is also operating across the DLR network until Sunday and there is a part closure of the London Overground between Clapham Junction and Surrey Quays until later today.
Meanwhile, a section of the A46 in Warwickshire has been closed while emergency services investigate a serious crash.
All lanes in both directions between the A439 (Marraway Roundabout) and the A3400 (Stratford-upon-Avon) are expected to remain shut for the rest of the morning.
Severe train disruption in the north of England
A broken down freight train at Burnley Manchester Road is causing disruption to journeys running between Hebden Bridge/Todmorden and Accrington.
As all lines are currently blocked, trains may be cancelled or revised.
Routes impacted include between York and Blackpool North, and also Blackburn and Headbolt Lane.
Disruption is expected until 1pm.
Replacement road transport is in operation between Hebden Bridge/ Rochdale and Blackburn in both directions.
Journey times will be extended by 60 minutes while travelling by this service.
Additionally, people may use their ticket on TransPennine Express services between York/Leeds and Manchester at no extra cost.
Minor delays on the Bakerloo line
It really is not a good day for people in London wanting to get into work this morning.
There are now minor delays on the Bakerloo line between Queen’s Park and Elephant & Castle due to an earlier faulty train.
There is a good service on the rest of the line.
Other issues across the tube network this morning
It is not good news for commuters this morning using the London Underground network.

Nothern line part suspended following fire alert
Busy section of Northern line suspended after fire alert
A busy portion of the Northern line on the London Underground has been suspended due to a fire alert at Elephant & Castle.
There is currently no service northbound between Kennington in south London and Camden Town station in the north, via Bank.
That includes major stations such as London Bridge, Angel and King’s Cross St Pancras.
It is unclear whether the fire alert was triggered deliberately due to a fire and how long it may take to resolve the situation.
