London Transport Disruption Deepens After Green Park Fatality as Metropolitan Line Suffers New Signal Failure

Operators are accepting tickets on alternative routes during repairs to signal failures across key services.

Overview

  • A person died after being hit by a Victoria line train at Green Park on November 25, with police saying the incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
  • The Victoria line was fully and then partly suspended with severe delays, and tickets were accepted on buses, Overground routes and multiple rail operators to help passengers complete journeys.
  • A signal failure at Whitechapel on November 24 left the Elizabeth line with no service between Whitechapel and Stratford and severe delays elsewhere, with ticket acceptance in place on alternative routes.
  • Greater Anglia services, including links to Stansted Airport, were diverted via Seven Sisters after a signalling fault between Clapton and Tottenham Hale, causing delays of up to 75 minutes and residual disruption as services recovered.
  • On November 26, the Metropolitan line reported severe delays between Moor Park and Watford after an earlier signal failure, with tickets accepted on the Lioness Line via any reasonable route.
