Power outage at London Underground, transportation problems

The blackout affected the southwestern part of the city, with delays and service suspensions causing serious issues for passengers

Newsroom May 12 06:37

The London Underground network and the Elizabeth line are experiencing significant difficulties due to a widespread power outage that occurred on Monday afternoon. According to reports, the blackout affected the southwestern side of the city around 14:30 (local time), with power being restored shortly afterward. However, delays and service suspensions continue, creating chaos for commuters.

The Bakerloo and Waterloo & City lines have been taken out of service, while trains are not running between London Bridge and Finchley Road on the Jubilee line. On the Northern line, service has been interrupted between Euston and Kennington, as well as south of Stockwell, causing serious travel disruptions.

The Elizabeth line is also experiencing major delays, with services completely suspended between Abbey Wood and Paddington. Waterloo station, which is normally served by the Jubilee, Northern, and Bakerloo lines, is one of the most affected, with thousands of passengers seeking alternative routes.

Additionally, the London Overground’s Suffragette line has been fully suspended due to a fire alert, further worsening the situation.

Travel in London has become even more difficult as well, since the Transport for London (TfL) website also experienced technical problems, with many information pages not loading, leaving passengers without clear guidance.
