What is disrupted in London today, and whether that is normal
London Travel News records the status of every Tube line, the Elizabeth line, the DLR and the London Overground as it changes, and keeps the record. That makes it possible to say not only what is delayed now, but how often it has been delayed lately — which no operator publishes.
Live Tube status
Every line, its current status, and how long the current disruption has lasted.
Line reliability
Which lines have been disrupted most over the last thirty days, from our own record.
Tube strikes
Announced strike dates, which lines are affected, and what runs during one.
Road closures
Planned and unplanned road closures across the capital.
Where these numbers come from
Live status is Transport for London’s own open data. The reliability figures are our record of that data over time, kept because TfL publishes the present and not the past — they are our arithmetic, not an official TfL statistic.
