Storm Ciarán London travel disruption
Elizabeth line - good service
TfL is now reporting a good service on the Elizabeth line after earlier issues due to floods.
In fact, the only service issue on the TfL rail network is a part suspension of the Piccadilly line - no service between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge due to "difficult track conditions caused by significant leaf fail". *Probably 'fall'.
Elizabeth line
TfL is now reporting just minor delays between Paddington and Shenfield on the Elizabeth line due to flooding caused by heavy rain.
There are also minor delays between Heathrow Airport and Hayes & Harlington due to an earlier track fault at Heathrow Airport.
Elizabeth line
Severe delays continue on the Elizabeth line between Paddington and Shenfield due to flooding caused by heavy rain in the Shenfield area.
Moorgate to Finsbury Park
A fault with the signalling system between Moorgate and Finsbury Park means some lines are disrupted. As a result, trains may be delayed. This is expected until 11.15am.
Shenfield to Romford
Flooding between between Shenfield and Romford means some lines are disrupted. Trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 11:30am.
