Northern Line delays: TfL warns 'please avoid where possible' as severe delays on entire Tube line due to 'signal failure at Stockwell'

There are currently severe delays on the Northern line this morning (Wednesday 22 October). TfL says: “Severe delays while we fix a signal failure at Stockwell.

“Tickets are being accepted on London Buses, London Trams, South Western Railway, Thameslink and Southeastern. Please avoid the Northern line where possible. You will find it quicker to use alternative routes if you can.”

Commuters have taken to X to share their frustration. One said: “So roughly when is it suspected to be fixed? Almost a week now it’s been like this, t’s ridiculous.” Another added: “The Northern Line has been woeful this past week”.

TfL has also warned that there are minor delays on the DLR and District Line this morning. On the DLR it says: “Minor delays between Bank and Lewisham while we fix a faulty train at Greenwich. GOOD SERVICE on the rest of the line.”

For the District Line: “Minor delays between Wimbledon and Earl's Court eastbound only following a late finish of engineering work by Network Rail.”
