Closures on the Piccadilly Line continue to disrupt the rush hour commute of people in London.

TfL announced a series of temporary closures on the line to facilitate platform and track upgrades part of a £2.9 billion investment aims to modernise it.

This means that until Sunday, September 1, people will be forced to come up with alternative routes to their work while the work continues.

During the period, the line is partially shut between Wood Green and Cockfosters, and between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge.

Additionally, there is a reduced service on other parts of the Piccadilly line due to the unavailability of trains.

Currently, there is good service on all other lines.


Delays on trains between Leeds and York

There are trespassers on the railway which means all services have to run at a reduced speed between Leeds and York.

TransPennine Express say disruption is expected until further notice, and that all services running through the above cities could be delayed or diverted.

Severe delays on Elizabeth line due to faulty train at Paddington

There are currently severe delays between Abbey Wood and Heathrow/Reading due to the faulty train, but there’s good service on the rest of the Elizabeth line.

Elsewhere there are severe delays on the London Overground between Euston and Watford Junction because of another faulty train, this time at Harrow & Wealdstone.

The Central line is currently seeing minor delays due to train cancellations.

Aside from the part closures on the Piccadilly line, there is good service everywhere else on the Underground this morning.
