If you are travelling on the London Underground Victoria line this morning, brace for delays and disruption to your journey.

The Monday morning rush hour is off to a difficult start for commuters travelling on the Victoria line after severe delays on the entire line.

This is because of an ‘operational incident’ at Walthamstow Central, the latest TfL travel status shows.

TfL said: ‘Severe delays while we deal with an operational incident at Walthamstow Central.

‘Tickets are being accepted on London Buses, Southeastern, Weaver line, Suffragette line, Great Northern, Thameslink, Greater Anglia, and South Western Railway.’

Meanwhile, the Elizabeth line is experiencing minor delays between Whitechapel and Shenfield in both directions.

National Rail also issued a warning over the Elizabeth line issues, saying it is caused by overrunning engineering works between Chadwell Heath and Goodmayes.

It said that trains between Gidea Park and London Liverpool Street and Paddington station, and services between Shenfield and Liverpool Street/Heathrow Terminal 5 are affected.

Trains could be cancelled, delayed by up to 10 minutes or revised, with the disruption expected until 8.30am, National Rail said.
