The power failure has caused disruption at Paddington station<\/figcaption><\/p>\n

A power failure is causing major disruption across the London Underground network, London Overground and the Elizabeth line.<\/p>\n

The Bakerloo, Weaver and Waterloo & City lines are currently suspended, as is part of the Mildmay lines, while there are severe delays on the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines, as well as the Elizabeth line.<\/p>\n

Transport for London (TfL) said the issues had been caused by a power outage in south-west London which happened at about 14:30 BST. Power has since been restored, but delays and line suspensions are ongoing.<\/p>\n

Separately, the entire Suffragette line on London Overground is suspended due to a fire alert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Waterloo station is among the worst affected stations, as it is usually served by Jubilee, Northern and Bakerloo line trains.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Northern and Jubilee lines were part suspended, as was the Elizabeth line. The Northern line currently has minor delays.<\/p>\n

The Transport for London (TfL) website<\/a> also appears to be suffering from intermittent issues with some travel advice pages not loading.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for TfL said the outage was a result of a National Grid issue, which had shut down everything for a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

He said: “When the power goes out the trains will have stopped. We’ve cleared some stations. Because there’s no electricity it might not necessarily be safe for them to be open.”<\/p>\n

TfL says it is in the process of getting things back up and running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Embankment station in central London is also closed<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

A Tube driver who had been halted at Regent’s Park station said he had been told it could take another two hours before he could move along.<\/p>\n

Among those affected by the transport issues were Justine, 53 and Benny, 20, who had travelled to London from the Warwickshire town of Leamington Spa to renew the latter’s passport.<\/p>\n

Speaking outside a closed Embankment station, their frustration at being unable to take a normally simple journey to Marylebone station was clear.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be really annoying, I don’t know how to get home,” Justine said.<\/p>\n

“We weren’t even able to renew his passport. It was just one of those days.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
