Disruptions have hit travel between Vauxhall and London Waterloo stations, already causing delays to this morning commute.

A fault with the signalling system between the two stations will last until at least midday, which means services may be delayed by up to 15 minutes or even axed.

Severe delays have been reported between Turnham Green and Richmond on the District Line, and between Acton Town and Heathrow Terminals on the Piccadilly Line.

Minor delays have also hit the District and Piccadilly Lines.

Meanwhile, there is no service on the London Overground between Sydenham and Crystal Palace.
