Elizabeth line ‘major disruption’ as severe delays on other London Underground lines - Central, District

The Elizabeth line is experiencing severe delays this morning due to a faulty train at Canary Wharf.

According to the Transport for London (TfL) website the line is currently suspended between Whitechapel and Abbey Wood, with severe delays on the rest of the line.

The District Line is also experiencing severe delays between Earl’s Court and Ealing Broadway / Richmond and minor delays between Upminster and Earl’s Court.

The Central and Metropolitan lines are also experiencing minor delays.

A number of commuters have taken to social media to share their dissatisfaction.

Twitter user Jo wrote: “Is there a day that Elizabeth Line actually works?

@tfl Just one would be nice. Surprise us for once.”

Eaing_Sam wrote: “More Elizabeth Line morning delays. Train been sat by the platform for the last 10 mins.

“@TfL can you stop charging customers for swiping into a platform then having to leave? It happens too often.”

While photographer Mark Freeman wrote: “@TfL any chance you can tell the driver on the Elizabeth line, just outside Paddington where we have been waiting for 20 mins, that the announcements he’s making is VERY quiet.

“We have no idea what he’s saying or what’s going on.”

Andy Oakes wrote: “It’s a disappointing day when you realise that the Elizabeth Line will let you down just like all the others did. I feel cheated.”

The Elizabeth line also experienced disruptions over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend due to signalling and software upgrades between Paddington and Maidenhead.
