Two London Underground lines are facing disruption this morning, with issues affecting both the Mildmay and Piccadilly lines.

There is currently no service on the Mildmay line between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction due to a faulty train at Shepherd’s Bush.

The rest of the line is running normally, and tickets are being accepted on London Underground and bus services via reasonable alternative routes.

Meanwhile, the Piccadilly line is experiencing severe eastbound delays between Acton Town and Cockfosters following a signal failure at Earl’s Court.

Minor delays are affecting the rest of the line.

Passengers can use London Buses, the Elizabeth line, Weaver line and Great Northern services as alternatives while disruption continues.
