Charing Cross trains diverted and TfL Tube Bakerloo line severe delays and Elizabeth line disruption

Commuters on the Bakerloo line are facing severe delays and there is disruption on the Elizabeth line on Tuesday morning (January 9).

In addition, rail passengers through Charing Cross can expect trains to be cancelled, delayed or revised due to a signal fault.

Bakerloo line

The Bakerloo line is part suspended, with no service between Elephant & Castle and Queen's Park. There are severe delays on the rest of the line due to a track fault at Embankment in central London.

Elizabeth line

Elizabeth line passengers were experiencing minor delays between Hayes & Harlington and Reading due to a faulty track at Slough, according to Transport for London (TfL). There is a good service on the rest of the line.

National Rail says Elizabeth line and Great Western Railway trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised. It says disruption is expected from 7am until the end of the day.

Central line

On the Central line there are minor delays due to a shortage of trains.

Charing Cross rail services

The disruption for rail passengers at Charing Cross means that trains that normally run between Dover Priory / Ramsgate / Ashford International and London Charing Cross will be diverted to London Victoria.

Some other services may be delayed because of the reduced capacity.

The disruption is due to a fault with part of the signalling system at London Charing Cross. While repairs are done platforms 5 and 6 are unavailable. Platforms 1-4 are unaffected, according to National Rail.

Disruption is expected until midday.

Disruption between Twickenham and Teddington

National Rail says that due to the police dealing with an incident between Twickenham and Teddington all lines are blocked. Trains will be cancelled or delayed until the end of the day. Strawberry Hill is closed.
