A power outage has hit the London Underground, causing major travel disruption in the capital.
The website of Transport for London (TfL) showed the entire Bakerloo, Waterloo and City, Weaver, and Suffragette lines were suspended while there were severe delays and part suspensions on the Elizabeth, Jubilee, Northern, and Piccadilly lines.
A spokesman for TfL said there was an outage in south-west London for “a matter of minutes” and “everything shut down” due to a “National Grid issue”.
The spokesman added that “some people would have probably been stuck in a tunnel for a little bit of time”.
TfL said it was in the process of “getting things back up and running again” but it “can’t say when it will be fixed” and they “don’t know anything else”.
