Tube havoc hits commuters as holidaymakers battle Stansted train delays

Commuters have been hit with delays on the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines this morning.

There are severe delays on the Piccadilly Line between Acton Town and Uxbridge with some disruption around Heathrow, due to a faulty track at Turnpike Lane.

The Jubilee Line is now running with minor delays after a signal failure at Canary Wharf. Earlier Transport for London (TfL) had to put crowd control measures in place which have now been lifted, although it warned that some platforms were busier than usual. 

Meanwhile, train services running to and from Stansted Airport have been blocked and are likely to be cancelled and delayed. The disruption is expected to last until 2pm this afternoon.

⚠ NEW:Due to a fault with the signalling system at #StanstedAirport all lines are blocked.

Train services running to and from this station may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 14:00.

Engineers from Network Rail, which owns and manages the tracks, are on site to fix the problem. There are replacement buses at Stansted to Bishops Stortford and the airport to Witham for travel in and out of London.

Holidaymakers took to Twitter to express their frustration at the delays and the chance they could miss flight.

@Stansted_Exp we are stucked in the Middle of nowhere and most of us have international flights. Please transfer us to the airport somehow, organising a bus or anything else

@Stansted_Exp I’m supposed to to be flying to Seville with @Ryanair and currently stuck on the train outside Liverpool Street on the delayed 08:40. Gate closes at 11:55…any updates ??
