Multiple closures and suspensions are in place across Transport for London (TfL) services, causing rush hour chaos for commuters.

The Waterloo and City Line has been suspended after a signal failure at Bank. To pile on, the London Overground is closed between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction until the weekend.

There is also reduced service on the entire network of the DLR, which will carry on until Sunday.

In addition, minor delays are being reported on the Metropolitan Line following the late finish of engineering work at Harrow-on-the-Hill.

For now, there is good service on all other lines.
