Commuters across the capital are facing severe disruption this morning after an entire London Underground line was suspended. The shutdown, confirmed by Transport for London (TfL), is due to a points failure at Lambeth North station.
Widespread Network Disruption
The suspension is just one part of a wider wave of travel chaos affecting London's transport network on Wednesday, 31 December 2025. Alongside the major suspension, TfL has reported multiple part closures and suspensions across the rest of the Tube network, the London Overground, and the Elizabeth line.
The affected services include the District line, Piccadilly line, Elizabeth line, Mildmay line, and Weaver line. This combination of issues is causing significant problems for morning rush hour passengers attempting to navigate the city.
