There are severe delays between Kennington and Camden Town northbound via Bank following an earlier fire alert.

There are also minor delays on the rest of the line due to a points failure at Camden Town.

Services are operating on separate sections, including between High Barnet and Morden via Bank, between Edgware and Battersea Power Station via Charing Cross, and between Mill Hill East and Finchley Central.

Passengers may need to change at Camden Town, Kennington or Finchley Central to complete their journeys.

Tickets are being accepted on London Buses.
