There are severe delays and suspensions in place across the Tube network following a fire alert at Tottenham Hale.

Pictures show police and firefighters outside the station, which had been closed off to commuters.

Transport for London (TfL) said there was no service between Walthamstow Central and Highbury & Islington due to the alert – although the line suspension was lifted at around 6.30am on Wednesday.

The situation has improved on the Victoria line as of 8am, with only minor delays.

However there are now severe delays on the Bakerloo and Jubilee lines and the London Overground, with a part suspension between Finchley Road and Waterloo on the Jubilee line.

TfL says this is due to a faulty train at Bond Street and it’s causing severe delays to the entire line.

The Bakerloo line is still experiencing severe delays after a points failure at Queens Park, which is also affecting the London Overground.
