A long section of the Victoria line is closed this morning due to a person under the line.
The line was suspended between Brixton and Warren Street due to a person on the track at 6:15AM on a northbound platform at Victoria station.
A spokesman for TFL said that ambulance crews were still on the scene and that there was currently no timetable on when the stretch of line would reopen.
He added that Circle and District line services were still running as normal from Victoria.
A statement on the TFL website said: “Victoria Line: No service between Warren Street and Brixton and SEVERE DELAYS on the rest of the line due to a person on the track. Tickets are being accepted on Southeastern, Southern, South West Trains, Abellio Greater Anglia and local buses.”
The condition of the person involved is currently unknown.
