The Jubilee line was forced to close services between Waterloo and Finchley Road, with severe delays on the rest of the line, following a “casualty on the track”. Around 12.30pm, the Jubilee line wrote on Twitter: “There is No service between Waterloo and Finchley Road while the emergency services deal with a casualty on the track. Severe delays on the rest of the line. Updates to follow soon.”

The line later added: “We currently have no service between Waterloo and Finchley Road. There are severe delays to the rest of the line.

“This is while the emergency services deal with a casualty on the track.

“Tickets are being accepted on @LondonDLR and London buses.”

The Jubilee line has said it is “now running with severe delays across the entire line”.
