Tube network faces severe disruption from multiple incidents

Fire alert, signalling issues, and infrastructure damage caused widespread delays and part-suspensions across several lines.

The Jubilee line will be closed during the day between Green Park and Canary Wharf. This closure is attributed to ongoing track work. TfL has advised passengers travelling to destinations like the O2 Arena from central London to consider alternative routes. These include taking the Central or Elizabeth lines to Stratford, or the District or Hammersmith & City lines to West Ham, before connecting to Jubilee line services for North Greenwich.

For those affected by the Green Park to Canary Wharf closure, TfL suggested using other Tube lines, the Elizabeth line, DLR services, or local bus routes. Passengers should note that Windrush line services will not stop at Canada Water; an alternative is to alight at Surrey Quays, which is a short walk from Canada Water.

Victoria line closed Saturday evening to Sunday morning

Points failure outside Brixton station requires urgent track replacement work.

The Victoria line will experience a complete shutdown between Victoria and Brixton from 7.30pm on Saturday until 10am on Sunday. This closure is to facilitate essential track crossing repair work. A reduced service is expected on the remainder of the Victoria line during this period. TfL anticipates that normal service will resume by midday on Sunday. However, the operator has stated that some delays may persist due to a speed restriction in the Brixton area until the repairs are fully completed.

Commuters needing to travel through Waterloo station during the early hours of Friday night, between 2.45am and 4.15am, should be aware that trains will not stop. TfL has recommended exiting the Northern line at Embankment and walking across the Golden Jubilee Bridges, or alighting at Kennington and taking bus route N155 from stop KB to Lower Marsh, which is near Waterloo.

Replacement bus services

To mitigate the impact of these closures, TfL has arranged for rail replacement buses. These services will operate and will make stops at North Greenwich, Canning Town, and Stratford.
