Severe delays on two major Underground lines after works overrun
The morning commute isn’t getting off to the best start for Londoners as three busy Tube lines are facing severe delays or suspension.
The Jubilee and Metropolitan lines on the London Underground are both seeing severe delays caused by overrunning engineering work at Dolls Hill.
However this is only impacting the southbound Jubilee line, with a good service running northbound.
Elsewhere the Piccadilly line is partly closed between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge again, after being suspended throughout the day yesterday.
This is due to ‘poor rail conditions caused by significant leaf fall’.
Currently the rest of the Underground and Overground network is running a good service – but keep up to date by following our live blog below.

Three lanes closed on M1 after lorry overturns
Three out of four lanes on the M1 northbound are closed after a crash which caused a lorry to overturn.
The closure is located between junction 16 for Weedon Bec and 17 for Kilsby and Rugby.
Recovery work to get the lorry back on its wheels is underway.
Drivers are facing 45-minute delays on top of their normal travel time, with three miles of queueing on the approach.
Landslip between Tamworth and Nuneaton
There’s been a landslip between Tamworth and Nuneaton, which has blocked one of two southbound lines running between the two stations.
This is affecting Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway services as trains running in the area have to run at a reduced speed, in both directions.
Trains could be cancelled, revised or delayed, and the disruption is expected to last until the end of the day.
The following services are impacted:
- Avanti West Coast between Edinburgh / Glasgow Central / Lancaster / Blackpool North / Manchester Piccadilly / Liverpool Lime Street / Holyhead / Chester and London Euston
- London Northwestern Railway between Crewe and Rugby / London Euston
