Tube strike cancelled: Delays on TfL London Underground and Elizabeth line despite suspension

Transport for London (TfL) warned passengers to expect delays this morning even after the suspension of Tube strikes. As of 7.30am, passengers were facing delays on the Bakerloo, Central and Piccadilly lines, as well as on the Elizabeth line and London Overground.

The RMT union announced on Sunday afternoon (January 7) that the strikes had been averted after progress was made in talks with TfL.

But the transport authority said that the late timing of the suspension meant some services would still be impacted today.

Disruption as at 7.30am:

Piccadilly line part suspended

On the Piccadilly line there was no service between Hyde Park Corner and Hammersmith due to a fire alert at Gloucester Road. There were severe delays Between Cockfoster and Hyde Park Corner. Minor delays were reported between Acton Town and Heathrow Airport due to a points failure at Northfields.

Bakerloo line severe delays

The Bakerloo Line was experiencing severe delays on the entire line due to a late finish of engineering work at Willesden Junction.

Elizabeth line minor delays

The Elizabeth line had minor delays between Hayes & Harlington and Reading while Network Rail repaired a broken rail in the Twyford area.

The Central line had minor delays due to a shortage of trains.

The London overground had severe delays between Euston and Watford Junction due to the late finish of engineering work.
