The London Underground and Overground have been rocked by severe delays line shortly before rush hour.
It’s one of the busiest Tube lines, carrying more than 700,000 passengers per day, but the Circle line is facing major disruption on Tuesday morning due to a track fault at Bond Street.
A faulty train at Becontree is also causing severe delays on the District line between Barking and Upminster.
This line carries an estimated 570,000 passengers per day.
In another major blow to commuters’ plans to arrive at work on time, the Windrush Overground line is also facing severe delays.
This is due to an earlier electrical fault at Forest Hill.
Windrush carries an average of 178,000 passengers per day.
The Central line is second only to the Victoria line when it comes to the frequency of trains.
Another one rolls up every 1.76 minutes on the Central line, compared with every 1.66 minutes on the Victoria line.
But with that frequency comes heat – a lot of it.
The Victoria line is also the hottest of the London Underground lines, reaching 30°C on average in the summer of 2023.
