London commuter chaos as three signal failures cause widespread train delays

Commuters in London this morning aren’t getting off to the best start as three separate failures are causing delays and disruption across the capital.

The signal failures at Shepherd’s Bush and Lewisham, as well as a points failure at High Street Kensington, are causing issues on the Overground as well as the Tube.

Southern trains from East Croydon, Selhurst and Clapham Junction to Watford Junction are affected – and currently trains can’t stop at Wembley Central, Harrow & Wealdstone or Watford Junction.

Trains running through Lewisham towards London Bridge are impacted by the second signal failure, with one of the railway lines blocked and trains unable to stop at Lewisham.

Meanwhile on the District line, there are severe delays between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road caused by the points failure.

There are also minor delays between High Street Kensington and Wimbledon due to an earlier late finish to engineering work at East Putney
