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.

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.
