Overview

  • Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines were fully suspended after a signal failure at Harrow-on-the-Hill halted service between South Harrow and Uxbridge.
  • District line passengers faced severe delays on Ealing Broadway–Richmond and Upminster services following an earlier faulty train at West Kensington.
  • The Mildmay line saw major hold-ups between Richmond and Willesden Junction as crews attended to a defective train.
  • Jubilee line journeys westbound between Stratford and Wembley Park were slowed by minor delays caused by a train fault at Canning Town.
  • Tram services remain closed between Arena and Elmers End and between Reeves Corner and East Croydon for planned engineering work until July 22, with operators offering alternative ticket acceptance and replacement buses.
