Severe delays impacted the Jubilee line on Tuesday morning after a signal failure occurred at Baker Street. For a period, there was no service on the line between Finchley Road and Waterloo while Transport for London (TfL) worked to resolve the issue. Despite the line eventually reopening, severe delays persisted across the entire Jubilee line.
The Northern Line also faced significant disruption, with a suspension on southbound services between Stockwell and Morden. This was attributed to engineering work finishing later than scheduled. A good service was reported on the remainder of the Northern Line.

Disruption extends to other lines
Journeys to and from St Albans Abbey were affected by a tree that became entangled with overhead electric wires. London Northwestern Railway services warned that trains could be cancelled or delayed until approximately 8am. The District line and Victoria line both experienced minor delays, which TfL reported were due to train cancellations.
In response to the widespread disruption, TfL stated that London Buses, the Mildmay Line, DLR, and the Elizabeth Line would accept tickets via any reasonable route.
