London Underground suffers more rush hour delays because of train shortage

The London Underground is experiencing some delays this morning as the commuter rush hour is in full swing.

If you’re travelling on the Piccadilly line on the Tube this morning, prepare for a slightly longer journey than usual.

Most of the line continues to have severe delays for a second day due to a shortage of trains.

The end of the Piccadilly line between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge remains suspended for a third week due to difficult track conditions. Passengers should use the Metropolitan line to complete their journeys.

Meanwhile, millions of people are getting ready to travel over the Christmas – meaning roads, trains and airports are set to be busy. The motoring expert RAC has revealed where the worst traffic hotspots are likely to cause chaos and the best times to travel to avoid them.
